Take a look at how TortoiseSVN diffs word documents. It calls a javascript file, "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\Diff-Scripts\diff-doc.js", which uses ActiveX to compare two doc files. If Acrobat 3d exposes an ActiveX interface for comparing docs, then you could do something similar for PDFs. jindili: if it is possible to compare two PDFs using the command line or ActiveX, then you should be able to do it.

Does anyone know if it is still an active project? Has its functionality been supplanted by the built into LabVIEW diff utility? Does lv-diff support LV 8.2? 8.5?
