Fixed one typo, re-exported, and now what else moved? Compare the two PDFs

Re-exporting a corrected interior is where things quietly go wrong. One added word pushes a line onto the next page, then every page after it. A chapter now opens on a left-hand page, a paragraph leaves one line stranded at the top of a page, or the book gains a page and the spine width on your cover is wrong.
Drop the old and the new PDF in here: https://bervet.com/tools/compare-book-proofs
You get:
- Every word that changed, with the page it's on and a few words either side so you can find it.
- The pages that reflowed: where the text starts moving, and where (if anywhere) it lines up again.
- Page count. If it went up or down, it reminds you to check the spine.
- Pages that look different though the words didn't: a picture that moved, different spacing, a font that swapped. Each changed page is shown with the differences in red.
It works for covers too. Compare two cover PDFs or two cover images and see the changes in red, plus whether the size changed, which is often a spine width that moved.
And for ebooks: drop in two EPUBs and it compares them chapter by chapter, with chapters added, taken out or retitled, pictures that changed, and any change to the title, author or ISBN.
It compares the text inside the PDF and how each page looks. Words set as a picture are compared as a picture.
