Faster, More Reliable Document Comparison
Enable users to compare document versions, review changes, and validate updates directly in your UI.
Choose How Documents Are Compared
Compare documents by text, visual output, or pixels. Use semantic diff for structured content, PDF comparison for layout changes, or pixel comparison for low-level validation.
Ways to Compare Documents
SIDE-BY-SIDE DOCUMENT VIEWING AND EDITING
Multiviewer
View multiple documents in a single instance using a side-by-side layout. Synchronize scrolling and zoom to keep content aligned while comparing versions. Users can also interact with documents across views, including search, annotation, and page-level actions.

SEMANTIC TEXT COMPARISON
VISUAL COMPARISON
Document Comparison Use Cases
Compare Contract Versions
Compare agreements or policy updates using semantic text diff. Highlight edits in reading order to reduce manual review effort in legal workflows.
Compare PDF Files and Drawings
Compare PDFs, plans, or designs to detect layout and formatting changes. Visual comparison highlights differences that text-based methods cannot capture.
Build Custom Comparison Logic
Use pixel-based comparison to define how differences are detected and processed. Integrate results into validation or automation workflows.
DOCUMENT COMPARISON FAQS
Document comparison (also called document diff) spots the differences between two versions of a file. These differences might include changes in text, layout, or visual elements, making it easier for users to understand what has changed.
PDF comparison can be done visually by overlaying two PDFs to highlight layout differences, or by extracting and comparing text to identify content changes.
