NAME
       comparepdf - compare two PDF files textually or visually

SYNOPSIS
       diffpdf [file1] [file2]

SYNOPSIS
       comparepdf [OPTIONS] file1.pdf file2.pdf

DESCRIPTION
       comparepdf is a command line application used to compare two PDF files.
       The  default  comparison  mode  is  text  mode  where  the text of each corresponding pair of pages is compared. As soon as a difference is
       detected the program terminates with a message (unless -v0 is set) and an indicative return code.
       The OPTIONS are -ct or --compare=text (the default) for text mode comparisons or -ca or --compare=appearance for visual comparisons (useful
       if  diagrams  or other images have changed), and -v=1 or --verbose=1 for reporting differences (and saying nothing for matching files): use
       -v=0 for no reporting or -v=2 for reporting both different and matching files.
