PDF Comparison That Actually Gets It Right

Other tools break when pages are added or removed. CatchDiff's smart page matching correctly pairs pages even when one document has insertions or deletions — showing you the real differences.

The Problem With Other PDF Tools

When you insert a page, tools like Wondershare compare the wrong pages — every diff after that point is wrong.

Other Tools (Position-Based)

PDF-A: Page 1←→PDF-B: Page 1
PDF-A: Page 2←→PDF-B: [NEW]✗ WRONG
PDF-A: Page 3←→PDF-B: Page 2✗ WRONG

CatchDiff (Smart Matching)

PDF-A: Page 1←→PDF-B: Page 1✓ 97%
←→PDF-B: Page 2 [NEW]INSERTED
PDF-A: Page 2←→PDF-B: Page 3✓ 99%

Everything You Need
