Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some help with a task I'm working on. I have a Microsoft Word document and would like to compare it against a .txt or .pdf file to identify any differences in the text. Is this possible to achieve? Additionally, if possible, I would like to compare multiple files in the same folder, all of which have matching file names. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

You'll need then a multitude of different tools to read everything in. The .txt file can be read in with a regular Input Data, but the PDF will need this and there are some solutions for Word docs!
