That's PDFedit's best feature.  It allows you to save revisions within a 
PDF. See quote below.

Do not hesitate and ask about that on our pdfedit-support mailing list.

You are right. The name is rather misleading. Copy revision would be 
much more intuitive as this is exactly what is done. I will talk to the 
rest of the team about this change.

Btw. Why do you use this functionality in the first place?

Are you OK with the renaming to Copy revision?

Whoops. I misunderstood.

To my knowledge there are two possible ways. If difference in text 
content is what you seek, then save to both PDFs to text files and take 
the diff.

If difference in formatting is what you seek, ... you're on your own.

Yes this is said but the current GUI depends on QT3 heavily and it is
not trivial to port it to QT4. A new gui which popped out recently is
not merged into the project yet because there is not enough man power to
do that.

I guess you can still get qt3 libraries from some repository and compile
it locally.

I wish it would be so easy but it's not unfortunately.
