The "diff-pdf" command is used to compare two PDF files and generate a visual difference between them. Here is a breakdown of the command you provided:
- "diff-pdf": The executable or command to run the "diff-pdf" program.
- "--output-diff=${path-to-diff-pdf}": This option specifies the path and filename for the output file that will contain the differences between the two PDF files. "${path-to-diff-pdf}" should be replaced with the actual path and filename desired for the output file.
- "${path-to-a-pdf}": This is the path and filename of the first PDF file that will be compared. "${path-to-a-pdf}" should be replaced with the actual path and filename of the first PDF file.
- "${path-to-b-pdf}": This is the path and filename of the second PDF file that will be compared. "${path-to-b-pdf}" should be replaced with the actual path and filename of the second PDF file.
When executed, this command will compare the contents of the two PDF files specified and generate an output file highlighting the differences between them.
