Hi.

Some possibilities:

Code:

Difference, similarity, compare

        1) diff, standard

        2) cmp, standard

        3) dwdiff, cdif (local), word differences

        4) cmptree (local), dirdiff (GUI), compare directory trees

        5) docdiff, compare by character, word, line, numerous output formats

        6) meld (GUI), diff and merge files

        7) numdiff, my-ndiff (local), snd (local), compare numerically

        8) comm, standard, compare 2 sorted files, 3 column output

        9) multi-comm (local), compare n files, need not be sorted

        10) contrast (local), like comm, needs no sort, symmetric and
        simple differences, intersection, union

        11) diff.pl, perl work-alike for diff, https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/PerlPowerTools/bin/diff

        12) multi-diff (local), common lines, multiple files, re-write omitting common lines

        13) psame (local), find similarity between 2 text files

        14) fdupes, rdfind, duff, find duplicate files

I would consider the comparison and report generation in HTML to be separate steps.

Check your repository first, Google second if something looks interesting.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

DIFFPDF(1)						      General Commands Manual							DIFFPDF(1)

NAME

       diffpdf - compare two PDF files textually or visually

SYNOPSIS

       diffpdf [file1] [file2]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page very briefly documents the diffpdf command.  (Click the GUI's Help button or press F1 for more information.)

       DiffPDF is a GUI application used to compare two PDF files.
       By  default  the  comparison is of the words on each pair of pages, but comparing character by character is also supported (e.g., for logo-
       graphic languages). And there's also support for comparing the pages by appearance (for example, if a diagram is changed or if a  paragraph
       is  reformatted, or a font changed). It is also possible to compare particular pages or page ranges. For example, if there are two versions
       of a PDF file, one with pages 1-12 and the other with pages 1-13 because of an extra page having been added as page 4, they can be compared
       by  specifying  two page ranges, 1-12 for the first and 1-3, 5-13 for the second. This will make DiffPDF compare pages in the pairs (1, 1),
       (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 5), (5, 6), and so on, to (12, 13).

       If the program is passed two PDF filenames on the command line it will start up and compare those files in Text mode (or in Appearance mode
       if the filenames are preceded by -a or --appearance).
