compare-documents

Compare two legal document versions to surface additions, deletions, and modifications by aligning content at paragraph and word levels. The Skill processes PDF, DOCX, and TXT files to generate visual side-by-side diffs and structured change logs for review.

Yes, you can generate a visual redline and change heatmap for PDF and DOCX files. The Skill produces comparison.html for side-by-side visual diffs and change_heatmap.html to help reviewers quickly locate substantive edits across document sections.

Create a structured change log from a contract version review by processing the original and revised files. The Skill outputs change_log.json containing paragraph- and word-level alignments mapped to document sections, suitable for downstream processing.

Document comparison works with text-based PDF, DOCX, and TXT files. The Skill extracts text using pdfplumber and python-docx with graceful fallbacks, but cannot process scanned image-only PDFs that lack an embedded text layer for diff computation.

The best way to track textual modifications across policy updates is using difflib to compute word-level alignments. The Skill maps changes to document sections and outputs a human-readable comparison_summary.txt alongside visual diffs for redline analysis.

Extract text from DOCX and PDF files for diff computation using python-docx and pdfplumber libraries. The Skill applies graceful fallbacks during extraction to handle formatting variations, ensuring accurate paragraph alignment before computing differences.
