Thanks for flagging the existence of version 4.0 - the gerbils are 
working on my copy as I write.

Two suggestions:

1) there are PDF diff tools available (e.g. at www.softinterface.com)

2) there are many PDF to text converters - you could convert to plain 
text and use a normal diff tool, ignoring whitespace differences

I haven't tried either of these, but I may once I've got my version 4.0 PDF.

regards
