Lech,

Jessica needs to compare the contents of two existing PDF files. I am
assuming she doesn't have the original Word documents, or that they
are irrelevant at this stage.

It seems unnecessary to convert the *difference* to PDF -- what
purpose does that serve?

Sorry, but I don't know of any tool to do the job. Jessica, if you do
find one, please share the information with the list.
