If\ given the `--output-diff` option, it produces a PDF file with visually\ highlighted differences: ```none $ diff-pdf --output-diff=diff.pdf a.pdf b.pdf ``` Copy Another option is to compare the two files visually in a simple GUI, using\ the `--view` argument: ```none $ diff-pdf --view a.pdf b.pdf ``` Copy This opens a window that lets you view the files' pages and zoom in on details.\ It is also possible to shift the two pages relatively to each other using\ Ctrl-arrows (Cmd-arrows on MacOS). This is useful for identifying translation-only differences. See the output of `$ diff-pdf --help` for complete list of options.
