When to use PDF Compare
Compare PDF text and current-page pixels, review a change report and save a highlighted difference image.
Compare a revised agreement to the previous copy. Inspect the text report for wording changes and the current-page difference view for layout changes.
Prepare, review and export
Open the before and after PDFs together and select the pages to analyze.
Choose whitespace matching and pixel tolerance, then analyze text and the current common page.
Review the text patch or rose-highlighted pixel differences and download the report or PNG.
Limits that affect the result
20 MB and 200 pages per PDF. Text extraction supports up to 100 selected pages and existing diff budgets; reduce the range for long documents. Scans have no selectable text. Pixel comparison uses normalized preview resolution and counts layout shifts as changes, not semantic edits.
