Compare PDF Text

Extracts the text of both PDFs and diffs them line by line (longest-common-subsequence): removed lines are marked − with their page in A, added lines + with their page in B, unchanged lines kept for context. Text layer only — no OCR, no layout comparison, and it says so.

How to use Compare PDF Text

Line-level LCS diff of two PDFs’ text with page references — removed/added/unchanged counts shown.

    Choose the original and revised PDFs.

  2. Use the workspace

    Review added, removed and unchanged text lines with page references.

Know the limits

Text-layer comparison does not perform OCR or compare layout; extraction order can affect the diff.
