Here's a great online tool for comparing text of 2 PDF files: https://draftable.com/compare
In its comparison results it shows both files side by side with a common synchronized scroll bar [older file is supposed to be provided first and is shown on left; newer file is shown on right]. The scroll bar shows area with differences in green and green is the colour used to show the different area (text) in one file. [See pic below.]
[To open pic in larger resolution, right-click on pic followed by open link (NOT image) in new tab/window. In new tab/window you may have to click on pic to zoom in.]
[In my case, there was only additional text in one file (and that too only in one line of one page). The help file says that removal of text is shown in red colour, and addition of text is shown in green colour.]
Note that the help file says that only the text in the two PDF files are compared and not images. However, one can physically view the images in old and new files by scrolling to those pages and check manually whether the images look the same.
Also, the help file says that formatting changes (e.g. bold font instead of normal font) are not shown. Hmm. That's sad.
