Hi,

I don't think there is something ready made as it depends a lot on
what you see as "difference", i.e. only Text-Differences, or also
Formatting? And what about footer/header, pictures, tables, lists,
document settings like page-margins, ....

BTW, for text it should be fairly easy to extract the text-contents
using the ExtractorFactory and then using some other functionality to
do the diffing, for other things it naturally becomes more difficult
depending on how much formatting/document settings you need to include
in the diff.

One other option that I used before is something like the perl
HTML-Diff module
(http://search.cpan.org/~neilb/HTML-Diff/lib/HTML/Diff.pm) which can
compute differences between HTML documents, so if you can save the
document to HTML, it would be possible to use something like this. I
did not find a suitable Java functionality a few years back but this
might have changed...
