Questions
What is compared?
The text of both documents, line by line. Changes to images, colours or layout are not detected.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
No, scanned pages have no text layer to compare.
How do I compare two Word documents?
Save both versions as PDF (File, then Save As, then PDF in Word or Google Docs), then compare the two PDFs here.
Can I compare long documents?
Yes. Up to 2,500 lines of text per document are compared line by line; for longer files the report tells you that only the first part was compared.
