Bug Description
There is docdiff plugin from HAYASHI Kentaro:
http://
This plugins used xdoc2txt utility (free, non-opensource, but it used via command line) for converting binary documents, e.g. MS Word or Adobe PDF, to plain text and then diff them. xdoc2txt seems mature enough and simple in use. We could provide fallback to it when qdiff encounter supported documents.
This is idea for thinking and experimenting. Need to check how xdoc2txt handles with non-ascii characters in documents.
