Shows exactly what changed between two versions of a document.
Drop in two PDFs, Word files or text files and it renders them side by side with insertions, deletions and moved paragraphs marked. It compares the document structure rather than the pixels, so a paragraph that simply reflowed onto the next page is not reported as a rewrite. That distinction is the reason lawyers use it instead of a plain text diff.
AltFTool does this too
