DIFF-PDF(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the diff-pdf(1) page, bestie — this is diff-pdf, and it's literally a Simple PDF comparison tool. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

diff-pdf [-h] [-v] [-s] [-m] [-g] [--output-diff <str>] [--channel-tolerance <num>] [--dpi <num>] [--view] file1.pdf file2.pdf

like, you hand it file1.pdf and file2.pdf, plus whichever little flags you're feeling, and it does its thing. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the full flag menu — every single one is iconic in its own way, no skips, no cap:

• -h, --help — show this help message. the classic "help me bestie" button 🫶
• -v, --verbose — be verbose. it will talk more, and honestly? sometimes you need that.
• -s, --skip-identical — only output pages with differences. if a page is matching, it does not get an invite to the output party 🙈
• -m, --mark-differences — additionally mark differences on left side. extra marking, extra clarity, main character energy ✨
• -g, --grayscale — only differences will be in color, unchanged parts will show as gray. so the changed bits get to pop off in color while the rest is lowkey gray 🌈
• --output-diff=<str> — output differences to given PDF file. yes, put the diff into the PDF file you name 💖
• --channel-tolerance=<num> — consider channel values to be equal if within specified tolerance. tiny differences can still count as equal if they're inside the tolerance you set 🎀
• --dpi=<num> — rasterization resolution (default: 300 dpi). the default is literally 300 dpi, bestie, don't forget 🦋
• --view — view the differences in a window. pop that diff open in a window and look at it directly 👑

reminder: --dpi has a default of 300 dpi, and --output-diff wants a value for <str>, okay? iykyk 💅
