For those who want to try this, just be careful when copying the "%". Next, you can try calling vimdiff file1.pdf file2.pdf Thanks that’s a nice one for the VI aficionados!

Or even better in your .vimrc:

autocmd BufReadPre *.pdf set ro
autocmd BufReadPre *.pdf set hlsearch!
autocmd BufReadPost *.pdf silent %!pdftotext -layout -nopgbrk “%” - |fmt -csw78

It saves you from the two extra steps (manual pdftotext).
