Use FileMerge to diff PDF files
This is a nice hint for comparing PDFs, but why would a university instructor require students to turn in PDFs? Why not just use RTF? Open with Microsoft Word and compare documents (my university and most others will give you Office, no?). i like to use Textmate and a misc bundle: [link]http://manual.macromates.com/en/bundles[/link] (w/ the diff command in the terminal).
Use FileMerge to diff PDF files
I'm not the original submitter, but as a University lecturer I try to encourage my students not to rely on Office, especially for technical documents. Writing a long, consistent, well formatted technical report or thesis, with equations, figures, table of contents and bibliography is a very difficult exercise with MS-Word in my experience (although I have done it). In contrast it is much easier with tools like LaTeX. Nowadays LaTeX's output format is PDF. |
