Diffpdf Portable 1.5.1 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.
Update automatically or install from the app store in the PortableApps.com Platform.
Features
By 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).
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
Diffpdf Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Change log
1.8.0
- Introduced zoning: this can be slow in Characters mode but can provide better accuracy in text modes.
1.7.1
- Improved Character mode to be as liberal about hyphens as Words mode.
- Minor doc changes that I forgot for 1.7.0.
- Minor GUI bug fixes and changes.
- Minor under the hood efficiency improvements.
1.7.0
- Renamed Text mode to Words mode. This mode is best for alphabetic text (e.g., English).
- Added Characters mode. This mode is best for logographic text (e.g., Chinese and Japanese). This was suggested by Paul Howarth.
1.6.3
- Very minor cosmetic changes.
1.6.2
- Save button is now only enabled if there are changes.
- An improved help window with slightly more information.
1.6.1
- Subtle bugfix that caused inaccurate highlight positioning in rare cases.
1.6.0
- In addition to Appearance comparisons using highlighting, they can now
also some composition modes to help make subtle differences more
visible. (This was inspired by feedback by Florian Heiderich.)
- Can now control the square size for appearance comparisons. Using very
small squares can help reveal tiny Appearance differences.
- Can now control the fill opacity for highlighting.
- Extended zoom range from 20% to 800% (was 25% to 400%).
