Would stitching all the images together into a single continuous image before comparison be better? I mean you would trade off memory but would you not avoid page break errors?

Probably. It's really similar to the approach that munificentbob used in his tool (http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2021/07/29/640-pages-in-15...). It uses mainly a Photoshop action.

This approach would be pretty cool for a bunch of file formats as long as you can rasterize them
