Description
Found this https://vslavik.github.io/diff-pdf/ which is good for PDF diffing - it only needs to run when a diff is detected
We can display a PDF of the diff in an iframe or new tab or download.
and the 'history' part can call some custom module to see what the right type is for the document
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the existing diff-detection and history handling, then review how changed PDFs could be generated and exposed in the web UI. Done should include a pluggable history loader, conditional PDF diff generation, and a defined way to view or download the result.
