Hi, I thought subscribers to this list might be interested in a small program that used poppler.
DiffPDF is a program for comparing two PDF files. Two comparison modes are supported: Text and Appearance. Text mode is quite fast. Appearance mode is useful when checking for changes to figures or for items that have moved (e.g. reformatted paragraphs). Comparisons can be between entire documents or between particular pages or page ranges (for example, to account for pages added to one PDF but not to the other). This release introduces a much improved text comparison algorithm (based on the Python difflib's SequenceMatcher) that is far more intelligent than the old algorithm. The program is distributed as C++ source; it requires a C++ compiler e.g., gcc, and depends on the Qt 4 libraries (e.g. Qt 4.5 or later) and the Poppler library. It is licensed under GPL v 2 (to match Poppler's license). DiffPDF is available from: http://www.qtrac.eu/diffpdf.html Perhaps someone who has access might be willing to add this program to the http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/poppler page's "Programs using poppler" table? -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd, www.qtrac.eu C++, Python, Qt, PyQt - training and consultancy "Advanced Qt Programming" - ISBN 0321635906 _______________________________________________ poppler mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler
