The command "diff-pdf --view ${path-to-a-pdf} ${path-to-b-pdf}" is used to compare two PDF files and display the differences between them.
Here is what each part of the command means:
-
"diff-pdf": This is the name of the command-line tool that is being used. It is specifically designed to compare PDF files.
-
"--view": This option tells the tool to display the differences between the two PDF files. If this option is not specified, the tool will only output a textual representation of the differences.
-
"${path-to-a-pdf}": This is the path to the first PDF file that you want to compare. You need to replace "${path-to-a-pdf}" with the actual file path of your first PDF file.
-
"${path-to-b-pdf}": This is the path to the second PDF file that you want to compare. You need to replace "${path-to-b-pdf}" with the actual file path of your second PDF file.
Once you run this command, the tool will open a graphical user interface (GUI) where you can see the side-by-side comparison of the two PDF files, highlighting the differences between them.
