Compare Two PDF Documents

Compare two PDF documents using Java

It becomes very difficult to find the difference between what was changed in one of the versions, particularly when working with large-volume PDF documents. The GroupDocs.Comparison for Java (which is a part of Conholdate.Total for Java) provides you many choices for comparing a wide range of supported file formats, including PDF format.

After the comparison, there are three colors on the resulting file that highlight the differences.

  • Elements that were inserted in the first file. – blue, by default
  • Elements wich were deleted from the first file – red, by default
  • Elements that have changed their styles (font, color, etc.) – green, by default
