My experience is that the PDF compare tools are very unreliable through no fault of their own. A lot of things can change in PDF output which do not represent changes in the content (think about inter-word/letter spacing and ligatures in some documents or the way headers/footers and page numbers may be represented). It is very hard for a tool at that level to know what changes are semantic and significant. > > but I would ask the editor of the standard to create the diff for me. Agreed. They should be able to produce that from in Word before it gets turned into a PDF. Even better would be a diff-able format such as the way ANSI/ISO does things, but that is also a *major* change to ask/process. ODF might be a more surmountable hurdle.
