PDF Java developers can effortlessly compare PDF documents by leveraging the Aspose.PDF Cloud REST API. This guide walks you through uploading source PDFs to Aspose Cloud storage, executing a comparison operation, and retrieving the resulting file that highlights the differences. For more details on the PDF format, see the PDF file information page.

Steps to Compare PDF Documents using Java Low Code API

  1. Start by including the Aspose.PDF Cloud SDK and the basic Java libraries needed to work with files
  2. Initialize the PdfApi using your Aspose Cloud credentials so your app can talk to the service
  3. Decide which PDF is the original, which one you want to compare it with, and what to name the comparison result
  4. Open the first PDF file and upload it to the Aspose Cloud storage
  5. Open the second PDF file and upload it to the cloud as well
  6. Run the PDF comparison operation to generate a new file showing the differences
  7. Verify the API response to make sure the comparison completed successfully
  8. If everything went well, download the resulting PDF and save it to your local system
  9. Show a clear message if the comparison fails, so the issue is easy to identify

These steps summarize the process to compare two PDF files using the Java REST API. First, connect to the Aspose PDF Cloud service, choose the two PDFs you want to compare, and upload them to the cloud. Then run the comparison, check that it completed successfully, and download the result showing the differences.
