PDF comparison for law firms and legal teams

Opposing counsel returns a PDF, not a Word file with tracked changes. Compare it against your last draft and get a redline that shows every inserted, deleted and reworded clause, page by page.

What legal teams compare

Contracts, amendments, NDAs, agreements, court filings.

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 legal teams

Does it detect moved paragraphs?

Yes. Text that is moved rather than rewritten is reported as moved, not as a deletion plus an insertion, so the change list stays short.

Can I download the redline?

Every comparison produces a redlined PDF and a side-by-side HTML view you can save or attach to the matter file.
