Quote vs invoice
See if the invoice matches the quote
The quote said one number. The invoice says another. Reading both PDFs side by side is slow, and it is easy to miss a line that was never approved. DocGlue checks the pair for you.
What this mode checks
Totals, tax, and subtotals. Quantities and unit prices on matching line items. Lines that appear on only one document. Purchase-order numbers when both files have them. Supplier and customer names when they are labeled.
Quote numbers and invoice numbers are expected to differ. Dates often differ too - that is called out, not treated as a failure by itself.
Who this is for
Homeowners checking a bill from a contractor, freelancers reconciling an estimate to a later invoice, and anyone holding a quote PDF and an invoice PDF who wants a discrepancy list before paying.
Limits
Selectable text is read as written. Scans are read when there is no selectable text, in English, up to 6 image pages. This is not bookkeeping software and not tax advice. Leave currency on Auto, or pick ZAR, USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, or AUD when a total has no symbol. Mismatches show both amounts, the difference, and the page. Auto-detect is available if you would rather not pick the pair yourself.
Quote vs invoice
Upload two PDFs, or try the Cedar Peak sample. Put the document you agreed to first (a quote, an order, or the earlier version) and the one you are checking second. Differences show what changed in the second one. If a quote and an invoice are the wrong way round, DocGlue swaps them and tells you. Text you can select is read as written; a scanned page is read only when it has no selectable text.
Auto reads symbols such as R, $, EUR, GBP, CAD, and AUD. Pick a currency when an amount has no symbol. If the two PDFs clearly use different currencies, the report warns you and does not subtract them.
Try sample pair loads a Cedar Peak quote and invoice, then runs the same comparison as an upload. Nothing is saved.
