The command "diff-pdf" is used to compare and highlight the differences between two PDF files. The paths to the two PDF files to be compared are specified as arguments.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "diff-pdf": This is the command itself, invoking a specific tool or program.
- "${path-to-a-pdf}": This is a placeholder representing the path to the first PDF file. You need to replace "${path-to-a-pdf}" with the actual file path of the first PDF.
- "${path-to-b-pdf}": This is another placeholder representing the path to the second PDF file. You need to replace "${path-to-b-pdf}" with the actual file path of the second PDF.
When you execute this command with the actual file paths, the "diff-pdf" tool will analyze the two PDF files and generate a new PDF that highlights the differences between them. This can be useful for comparing versions of a document or identifying changes made in different revisions.
