Drawing Diff Intro, Program to Compare PDF files

[@oigotr3773]

Wow this is fantastic tool, thank you! Would it be possible to add previous/next page buttons or shortcuts?

[@ScorchWorks]

PageUp and PageDown on the keyboard work for previous/next page.

Amazing tool! I'm finding it super useful! There is a bug on the "sheet menu" that it doesn't seem to scroll once the screen is full (it hides the "overflow" sheets), also it's difficult to navigate big documents (80-100sheets maybe), an good improvement would be addition of previous/next buttons or keystrokes.,

[@ScorchWorks]

Thanks. You can change pages using the page-up page-down keys. I will look into handling many sheets better in the. 'sheet menu'

If it could maintain the folder you open files, and filetype, in the drop down menu it would be awesome!!!

this is amazing! just found this out. I have recently been trying to do this in an application called GIMP. your program makes the process much more smooth and easier. the reason I stumbled upon this is I have been trying to find a program that will let me do this exact process but the output will still result in a vector graphics (no loss of quality upon zooming). I would like to know if that would be possible? thank you again for this amazing program.

[@ScorchWorks]

No, It is not possible to get vector output. from Drawing Diff.

[@wislord]

Does it work if in the new pdf same page is shifted say half a page?

[@ScorchWorks]

It will still show a result but it will not be terribly usefull.

this is super cool, simple, and useful. One feature you might consider is a slider bar with "Old" on one end of the slider and "New" on the opposite end, and let the user slide the bar from one end to the other to see the old image fade and the new one come into view with both visible when it is in the middle... that little controllable animation can be useful to see as you slide back and forth and see the image "warp" a bit into the new image. One other feature you might consider is a button that just lets you toggle between the old and new being visible with a single click that you can click over and over... in fact if you do the first suggestion perhaps it could just toggle between the two extremes of the slider so that the controls are consistent. You could also map that button to a keystroke (like spacebar) so a user can easily toggle back and forth either with a keystroke or a single mouse click. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing this!

[@ScorchWorks]

Thanks, the way the image is currently display might make the slider difficult to implement. I like the ide of switching back and forth between "Old" and "New". Right now changing the display from "Old" to "New" resets the zoom level to full page, which is pretty annoying, and prevents swapping back and forth nicely when zoomed in. There are definitely a lot of things that could be improved.

It's such an incredible software!! It's working perfectly! (v.0.03) Big thanks!!! You saved my life LOL! Especially it doesn't need to be installed. (Talking about those annoying .msi installers and no admin rights) If I have to find some problems, they are: 1. It costs a lot of memory (around 6GB?) when loading two PDFs (50ish pages)? 2. I hope if there are previous/next page buttons too. BTW, your website is a place where saves all the treasures!

[@ScorchWorks]

1. You can turn the resolution down to save memory (will result in lower quality image) 2. PageUp PageDown on your keyboard works for previous/next page.

@@ScorchWorks Awesome! Thank you so very much for this app! This is actually saved my time and my brain on comparing the different version of drawings.

[@ScorchWorks]

Yes, it is free. There is a link to the web page in the video description.

[@ohkikousuke8433]

@@ScorchWorks I installed!! By the way, can we change initial setting color for old and new ?? For example , old is red ,new is blue. I check general settings but cannot change

[@ScorchWorks]

@@ohkikousuke8433 I uploaded a new version (V0.03) which will allow you to change the colors and save them from session to session by clicking the save button in the General Settings window.
