logoDiffpdf Portable 1.1.5 has been released. Diffpdf is a PDF comparison tool that shows the differences in PDF files either textually or visually. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Suite. And it's open source and completely free. Read on for more details...

Update automatically in the PortableApps.com Platform 2.0 Beta 5 by clicking 'Check for Updates'.

Features

ScreenshotBy default the comparison is of the text on each pair of pages, but comparing the appearance of pages is also supported (for example, if a diagram is changed or if a paragraph is reformatted). 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).

Found it here this morning. Now using it at work. One of my bosses sometimes forgets that he has sent us an updated file - sometimes with different filenames. Diffpdf made it simple to compare two 127 page documents and find that, yes, he did it again.

Works great!

John for the fast update.
Did you change anything from the package I sent you?
Cause I fixed some errors in the help.html which arent included in the official version. Nothing that cant wait for the next version though.

I just updated it from official 1.1.4. I don't think I got an email from you with a 1.1.5 release.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I sent you on on April 2nd. You could email me if you want me to put a special tag in the subject so you can filter it.
