I am looking for a diff tool for PDF documents. Tools like diffpdf won't do the job since they compare word by word or letter by letter. Usually I have documents where a whole section has been inserted, before and after that section the document remains unchanged. I want to see the new section highlighted, not the remaining stuff. If there is a difference in the existing sections I want to see that, too, of course Wink .
There are similar tools for diffing code under Unix but these work only for plain text afaik.
Any suggestions ?

If you can make computers as smart as humans you will have invented a machine that can sing the words to the Flintstones tune but will forget to pay the phone bill.

Tristan,
I use DiffPDF (without the "-") in the meanwhile. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the hint btw.
