You can use fc /b to do a binary compare between two files.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A binary compare on a PDF doesn't sound very useful.
But I'm not sure how approachable a comparison of PDFs is anyway, since they're hybrid type docs.

All is well that ends in pizza.
There are a couple which rate pretty high at C|net's downloads.com site.
Beyond Compare 2.3.1 build 231
ExamDiff 1.6m, which has a paid Pro version, too.
and there's one whose user ratings are high, but it has not yet been reviewed, Compare It! 3.04
But i have yet to try these. Perhaps the names will jog some memories, or at least give you some to try.

I agree. It might be helpful only as a very basic way to verify if they are the same or altered, but not what has changed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't think most people realize that when we go to digital TV, networks will have the power to prevent any and all recording (if this legislation goes through). That's right - they wanna plug the analog hole and prevent VCR recordings too....

Our wings are not tired
I cancelled my HBO and my Showtime, don't miss it. If I desire one of their shows I'll just wait and NetFlix the DVDs.

Luckily, HBO repeats its programming like crazy, so you're practically Tivoing just by turning on the television.
