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. SEE ALSO
For a GUI tool for showing the detailed differences between PDF files see http://www.qtrac.eu/diffpdf.html. AUTHOR

Batch mode is useful in combination with the file ... -t option. -d Dump tags and values from a document to stdout (implies -b ). -h Show short help text. -t tag=value Set text to value where tag is tag Multiple -t options are allowed. -z zoom Set initial zoom value in percent. -geometry WxH+X+Y Set initial geometry. -iconic Start iconified. -scheme string Use fltk scheme string Currently fltk supports "plastic" and "gtk+". EXIT STATUS
The flpsed utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. EXAMPLES
The command: flpsed file1 will start flpsed and load file1 for interactive editing. The command: flpsed -b -t foo=bar file1 file2 will set the text of all text fields in file1 carrying the tag "foo" to "bar" and write the resulting Postscript document to file2 SEE ALSO
