Sure. One thing I would do is clarifying the licensing information for images/*. Where did you get them from? So that I can put a notice in debian/copyright mentioning this (and pointing to this bugreport, for future reference). Also, I have a couple of suggestion, but these could be added in a future release. It would be cool to be able to do: $ diffpdf --visual file1 file2 (or --textual), and have it automatically start the comparison. Thank you for cooperating! David -- . ''`.

.TH DIFFPDF 1 "December 23, 2009" .SH NAME diffpdf \- compare two PDF files textually or visually .SH SYNOPSIS .B diffpdf .RI [ file1 ] .RI [ file2 ] .SH DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the \fBdiffpdf\fP command. .PP \fBDiffPDF\fP is used to compare two PDF files. .br By default the comparison is of the text on each pair of pages, but comparing the appearance of pages is also supported (for example, if a diagram is changed or a paragraph reformatted). It is also possible to compare particular pages or page ranges. For example, if there are two versions of a PDF file, one with pages 1-12 and the other with pages 1-13 because of an extra page having been added as page 4, they can be compared by specifying two page ranges, 1-12 for the first and 1-3, 5-13 for the second. This will make DiffPDF compare pages in the pairs (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 5), (5, 6), and so on, to (12, 13). .SH AUTHOR diffpdf was written by Mark Summerfield <mark@qtrac.eu>. .PP This manual page was written by David Paleino <dapal@debian.org>, for the Debian project (and may be used by others).
