I would like to compare the text part of two files. Right now, if I try to compare two .pdf files using file viewer, there are many differences that are not relevant to me.
I installed the plug in and I tested it. At first, I got an error, something about file not found, or something like this. I checked the rule, and I had to specify the full path for the executable. Now, I tried to compare two .pdf files, but one of these appears to be completely empty. I opened that file with acrobat reader, and the data is there, but when I use B.C. it shows only one of the two files.

Paths for External Conversion utilities can be relative to the folder containing BC2.exe. Is "PdfToText.exe" in a "PdfToText" subfolder of your BC2 folder?

Xpdf only extracts the text within pdf files. My guess is that your file actually contains a picture of text. If you send me a copy of the file at [email protected], I can test it.
Actually, this PDF file doesn't have text copying permission so Xpdf won't extract its text. More information is available at: http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/cracking.html
