Nice work! We had to solve this problem a few years ago and iterated through a bunch of technical solutions and rabbit holes.

Funnily enough, the best performing solution for users was having the two PDFs rendered as images with a slider to "switch" between them, and relying on the human eye to spot the differences.

Thank you! :) you do not know how many issues I spotted on older books I formatted. Paragraphes randomly moved on the top, images streched as I was build more pdf.. all human errors that can be - at least - spotted.
