Frequently asked questions

How to compare two PDF files side by side for free?

What is the best tool for contract version comparison?

GetPDFMint PDF Compare shows both contract versions simultaneously with sync scrolling and red diff highlighting — completely free, no signup, no installation required.

How does sync scroll PDF viewer work online?

When sync scroll is ON, scrolling either pane automatically scrolls the other to the same position. Toggle it off to scroll each PDF independently.
