How to compare two PDF files? How do you to compare two PDF files to determine the differences between the documents?

Similar question to what I have seen asked previously but with a clarification of requirement.

I have a large number of newly created PDF each day that should be identical to an existing set of PDF's (unless there is a bug in the code creating the PDF's), i.e.. this is an automated regression test of a PDF creation tool. All I need to know is "are the new set of PDF's identical to the old set". I do not need to know what the differences are. Why not use comp, windiff etc.? Unfortunately because the PDF's contain "CreationDate", they do not binary compare (with a windows comp). Therefore, my question is, will your command line tool binary compare 2 PDF's ignoring the creation date?

thx

Do you know a good Windows software to compare PDF files side-by-side and show the modifications between the two?

It would be great if you can post both free and not-free products.
