Okay, so. I have a and a file. And I’d like to compare them. And since I’m a programmer, I don’t want to compare them visually, but with a . But how?

Like this.

alias pdfcat='gs -q -sDEVICE=txtwrite -o-'
alias doccat='pandoc -t plain'

pdfcat a.pdf > a.txt
doccat b.docx > b.txt

git diff --no-index --word-diff a.txt b.txt

And since we’re using --word-diff, it doesn’t matter that the two files use wildly different line wrapping.
