FAQ
DocGlue compares a quote, an invoice, a purchase order or a contract with the document it should match, and lists what changed with the page it came from. It is not a side-by-side pixel highlighter, and it does not decide for you.
What is DocGlue?
DocGlue is where a person checks whether a quote, an invoice, a purchase order or a contract still agrees with the document it should match. It lists changed prices, quantities, lines, totals and wording, and shows the page each value came from. DocGlue does not decide for you.
Who is DocGlue for?
Anyone who needs to know whether a later document still matches what was agreed, before they pay, buy or sign. That includes buyers comparing supplier quotes, people checking an invoice against a quote or purchase order, and teams reviewing a change order or a revised contract.
How does DocGlue compare two documents?
Upload two PDFs. DocGlue reads each page, and reads an English scan when a page has no selectable text, up to 6 image pages. It extracts parties, dates, references, totals and line items, then matches them across the two files. The report shows what matches, what changed, what is missing and what it could not confirm, with the page each value came from. The files are discarded when that request finishes.
What is DocGlue not?
DocGlue is not a side-by-side pixel highlighter. It does not paint every moved word or pixel on the page. It compares the prices, quantities, lines, totals and wording of two related documents, and leaves the judgment with you. It is not legal advice and not accounting software.
Do I need an account?
No. Comparing documents is free without signing in.
Do you store my PDFs?
Uploaded files are processed in memory for that comparison and discarded when the request finishes. We do not keep a document archive. The report stays in your browser.
Which PDFs work?
PDFs where you can select the text: quotes, invoices, purchase orders, receipts, delivery notes, change orders, contracts, and similar documents. Scans and phone photos are read when the page is an image and there is no selectable text.
Does this work on scans?
Yes, for English scans and photos when the PDF has no selectable text. DocGlue reads those pages for that comparison only, up to 6 image pages, and does not save them. If a scan is still unreadable, you get a clear error. A page that stays unreadable is called out when the rest of the file can be compared.
Can I choose the currency?
Yes. Auto is the default and reads symbols such as R, $, EUR, GBP, CAD, and AUD. You can also pick ZAR, USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, or AUD for amounts with no symbol. If the two PDFs clearly use different currencies, DocGlue warns you and does not subtract those amounts.
What can I compare?
Quote vs invoice, purchase order vs invoice, two quotes or bids, two invoices, original vs change order, receipt vs invoice, delivery note vs invoice, two contract versions, or any two related PDFs. Auto-detect chooses a pair from the files you upload.
Is this legal or accounting advice?
No. DocGlue highlights mismatches and text changes. You decide what they mean.
