I've started to use conditional text for different drafts. Each draft is a different color, all are underlined. I have a separate template which only has those conditional text defined, so I can apply that template without interfering with other conditional text. The PDF will the colors (or if you have a color printer). All of them can be spotted on a black and white printers by the underline.

I've been thinking about using Framescript to do something to all edited text to make it stand out, for example, underline it or apply a condition. That would separate out the real changes from the other things that change bars pick up, but which don't really matter for reviewing updated doc.

After the review cycle is over, I would get rid of the underlines or whatever.

Haven't done it yet, though, so I can't say how well it would work. I'm not sure what I would do about deletions.

An alternative which might work for your engineers would be to save the files as text (or export to HTML or XML) before and after and let them use the diff tools they are comfortable with. Formatting probably wouldn't matter much, you'd just care about what was changed. Ugly, but maybe doable.
