Hi All,


MY NEED :

I want to compare

* 1 PDF and 1 DOC
* 1 DOC and 1 Note pad
* 1 PDF and another 1 PDF

Is there any other libraries or any other way except these gems to solve
my tasks.


Already USED :

I have already used pdf-reader, prawn , win32ole, roo , spreadsheet.

What I DID Earlier :

@a = PDF FILE CONTENTS (used pdf reader)
@b = DOC CONTENTS (Used Win32 OLE)

But @a!=@b because of some text format issues with PDF


So Please anyone guide to me which library or which approach helps for
me.

Thanks

Show the inspect output for both, or at least a subslice.
Or provide some code for us to try.
