PDF comparison for automotive engineering

Supplier documents arrive as PDFs, and each revision needs a review. Compare the revisions and see the changed specifications, test requirements and notes without reading every page.

What automotive teams compare

Component specifications, supplier documents, homologation files, CAD-exported PDFs.

What you get

How the comparison works

Text is extracted from both PDFs with its position and style. Repeating headers, footers and page numbers are removed, unchanged tables are recognised and held out, and paragraphs are aligned across the two documents before a character-level comparison. The output is a change list with page numbers, a redlined PDF and a side-by-side view with synced scrolling. The engine is deterministic: the same two documents always produce the same result.

Deployment options

Use the web tool for individual reviews, the REST API to trigger comparisons from your document system, or a private deployment in your own VPC or on-premises when documents cannot leave your network.

Questions from automotive teams

Can we integrate it into our release workflow?

Yes. The REST API returns the change list as JSON so a release gate can block on unexpected changes.

Are there volume plans?

Yes. Enterprise pricing is per volume, with an SLA and a private deployment option.
