Compare Two PDF Documents

Spire.PDF for Java provides the PdfComparer class for users to create an object with two PDF documents for comparing. After creating the PdfComparer object, users can use PdfComparer.compare(String fileName) method to compare the two documents and save the result as a new PDF file.

The resulting PDF document displays the two original documents on the left and the right, with the deleted items in red and the added items in yellow.

The detailed steps for comparing two PDF documents are as follows:

  • Create two objects of PdfDocument class and load two PDF documents using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
  • Create an object of PdfComparer class with the two documents.
  • Compare the two documents and save the result as a new PDF document using PdfComparer.compare() method.
  • Java
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
import com.spire.pdf.comparison.PdfComparer;

public class ComparePDFPageRange {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Create an object of PdfDocument class and load a PDF document
        PdfDocument pdf1 = new PdfDocument();
        pdf1.loadFromFile("Sample1.pdf");

        //Create another object of PdfDocument class and load another PDF document
        PdfDocument pdf2 = new PdfDocument();
        pdf2.loadFromFile("Sample2.pdf");

        //Create an object of PdfComparer class
        PdfComparer comparer = new PdfComparer(pdf1,pdf2);

        //Compare the two PDF documents and save the compare results to a new document
        comparer.compare("ComparisonResult.pdf");
    }
}

Compare a Specified Page Range of Two PDF Documents

Before comparing, users can use the PdfComparer.getOptions().setPageRanges() method to limit the page range to be compared. The detailed steps are as follows:

  • Create two objects of PdfDocument class and load two PDF documents using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
  • Create an object of PdfComparer class with the two documents.
  • Set the page range to be compared using PdfComparer.getOptions().setPageRanges() method.
  • Compare the two documents and save the result as a new PDF document using PdfComparer.compare() method.
  • Java
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
import com.spire.pdf.comparison.PdfComparer;

public class ComparePDFPageRange {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Create an object of PdfDocument class and load a PDF document
        PdfDocument pdf1 = new PdfDocument();
        pdf1.loadFromFile("G:/Documents/Sample6.pdf");

        //Create another object of PdfDocument class and load another PDF document
        PdfDocument pdf2 = new PdfDocument();
        pdf2.loadFromFile("G:/Documents/Sample7.pdf");

        //Create an object of PdfComparer class
        PdfComparer comparer = new PdfComparer(pdf1,pdf2);

        //Set the page range to be compared
        comparer.getOptions().setPageRanges(1, 1, 1, 1);

        //Compare the two PDF documents and save the compare results to a new document
        comparer.compare("ComparisonResult.pdf");
    }
}

A tagged PDF is a PDF document that contains tags that are pretty similar to HTML code. Tags provide a logical structure that governs how the content of the PDF is presented through assistive technology. Each tag identifies the associated content element, for example heading level 1 <H1>, paragraph <P>, image <Figure>, or table <Table>. In this article, you will learn how to create a tagged PDF document in Java using Spire.PDF for Java.

Create a Tagged PDF in Java

To add structure elements in a tagged PDF document, we must first create an object of PdfTaggedContent class. Then, add an element to the root using PdfTaggedContent.getStructureTreeRoot().appendChildElement() method. The following are the detailed steps to add a "heading" element to a tagged PDF using Spire.PDF for Java.

  • Create a PdfDocument object and add a page to it using PdfDocument.getPages().add() method.
  • Create an object of PdfTaggedContent class.
  • Make the document compliance to PDF/UA identification using PdfTaggedContent.setPdfUA1Identification() method.
  • Add a "document" element to the root of the document using PdfTaggedContent.getStructureTreeRoot().appendChildElement() method.
  • Add a "heading" element under the "document" element using PdfStructureElement.appendChildElement() method.
  • Add a start tag using PdfStructureElement.beginMarkedContent() method, which indicates the beginning of the heading element.
  • Draw heading text on the page using PdfPageBase.getCanvas().drawString() method.
  • Add an end tag using PdfStructureElement.beginMarkedContent() method, which implies the heading element ends here.
  • Save the document to a PDF file using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.

The following code snippet provides an example on how to create various elements including document, heading, paragraph, figure and table in a tagged PDF document in Java.

        //Create a PdfDocument instance
        PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();

        //Create a portfolio and add folders to it
        for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
        {
            PdfFolder folder = pdf.getCollection().getFolders().createSubfolder("folder" + i);

            //Add files to the folders
            folder.addFile(files[i]);
        }

        //Save the result file

This article will demonstrate how to hide and display Layers in a PDF document using Spire.PDF for Java.

Hide all layers:

import com.spire.pdf.*;
import com.spire.pdf.graphics.layer.*;

public class invisibleAllPdfLayers {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Load the sample document
        PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
        doc.loadFromFile("layerSample.pdf");

        for (int i = 0; i < doc.getLayers().getCount(); i++)
        {
            //Show all the Pdf layers
            //doc.getLayers().get(i).setVisibility(PdfVisibility.On);
            //Set all the Pdf layers invisible
            doc.getLayers().get(i).setVisibility(PdfVisibility.Off);
        }

        //Save to document to file
        doc.saveToFile("output/invisibleAllPdfLayers.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);
    }
}

        //Hide the first layer by index
        doc.getLayers().get(0).setVisibility(PdfVisibility.Off);

        //Hide the layer by name with blue line1
        for (int i = 0; i < doc.getLayers().getCount(); i++)
        {
            if("blue line1".equals(doc.getLayers().get(i).getName())){
                doc.getLayers().get(i).setVisibility(PdfVisibility.Off);

import java.awt.geom.*;

public class TableOfContent {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception

        //load PDF file
        PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument("sample.pdf");
        int pageCount = doc.getPages().getCount();
        //Insert a new page as the first page to draw table of content
        PdfPageBase tocPage = doc.getPages().insert(0);
        //set title
        String title = "Table Of Contents";
        PdfTrueTypeFont titleFont = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial",  Font.BOLD,20));
        PdfStringFormat centerAlignment = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Center, PdfVerticalAlignment.Middle);

        tocPage.getCanvas().drawString(title, titleFont, PdfBrushes.getCornflowerBlue(), location, centerAlignment);
        //draw TOC text
        PdfTrueTypeFont titlesFont = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN,14));

        for (int i = 0; i < titles.length; i++) {
            titles[i] = String.format("page%1$s", i + 1);
        }
        float y = (float)titleFont.measureString(title).getHeight() + 10;
        float x = 0;
        for (int i = 1; i <= pageCount; i++) {
            String text = titles[i - 1];
            Dimension2D titleSize = titlesFont.measureString(text);

            float pageNumlocation = (float)(tocPage.getCanvas().getClientSize().getWidth() - pageNumTextSize.getWidth());
            for (float j = dotLocation; j < pageNumlocation; j++) {
                if (dotLocation >= pageNumlocation) {
                    break;
                }
                tocPage.getCanvas().drawString(".", titlesFont, PdfBrushes.getGray(), dotLocation, y);
                dotLocation += 3;
            }
            tocPage.getCanvas().drawString(pageNumText, titlesFont, PdfBrushes.getCadetBlue(), pageNumlocation, y);
            //add TOC action
            Rectangle2D titleBounds = new Rectangle2D.Float(0,y,(float)tocPage.getCanvas().getClientSize().getWidth(),(float)titleSize.getHeight());
            PdfDestination Dest = new PdfDestination(navigatedPage, new Point2D.Float(-doc.getPageSettings().getMargins().getTop(), -doc.getPageSettings().getMargins().getLeft()));
            PdfActionAnnotation action = new PdfActionAnnotation(titleBounds, new PdfGoToAction(Dest));
            action.setBorder(new PdfAnnotationBorder(0));
            ((PdfNewPage) ((tocPage instanceof PdfNewPage) ? tocPage : null)).getAnnotations().add(action);
            y += titleSize.getHeight() + 10;
        }

        //save the resultant file
        doc.saveToFile("addTableOfContent.pdf");
        doc.close();
    }
