COMPAREPDF(1) General Commands Manual COMPAREPDF(1)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.

flpsed -- annotate PostScript and PDF files
SYNOPSIS
flpsed [-bdh] [-t tag=value] [-z zoom] [infile] [outfile]
DESCRIPTION
The flpsed utility allows to annotate Postscript files. PDF files can be imported using the pdftops and exported using the ps2pdf utility.
If the document was saved in Postscript format, added text can be reedited later. flpsed is useful for filling in forms or adding short com-
ments. Batch mode can be used to automate form filling.
The options are as follows:
-b Batch mode (no GUI). In batch mode flpsed reads from stdin, if no infile is specified. 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
