Common questions and troubleshooting

Does a clean text comparison prove two documents are identical?

No. Extracted-text comparison can miss changed images, signatures, fonts, and page layout. Scanned pages may also have little extractable text. Use the diff to review wording, then inspect both originals visually when appearance or authenticity matters. It is not a signature verification or legal validation service.
