PDF & Document Monitoring

Watch what changes inside PDFs: price lists, spec sheets, terms and forms. Monity opens the document itself, compares its pages on every check and tells you what changed.

The document itself

Paste the PDF’s address. Monity reads the document, not the viewer.

Monity recognises a PDF, including one opened in a browser viewer or embedded on a page, renders its pages and compares them on every check, just like a web page. Use Auto or Visual mode, and add a Notify me when rule if only some changes matter.

  • Price lists, policies, forms, spec sheets
  • An alert with an AI summary based on the document’s text
  • A PDF Diff tab with the metadata and page-by-page changes

Same link, new file

Catch the quiet update at the same address.

Many sites replace a PDF at the same address when they update it, with no announcement. That is exactly what a PDF task catches. Every check is kept in the task’s history, so you can see when a clause or a price changed.

  • If each version gets a new address, monitor the page that links to it

FAQ

Questions about PDF & Document Monitoring

Can Monity monitor a PDF?
Yes. Create a task with the PDF’s address. Monity recognises that it is a PDF, including one opened in a viewer or embedded on a page, renders its pages and compares them on every check.
What do I get when a PDF changes?
An alert with an AI summary based on the document’s text, before and after images of the pages with the differences highlighted, and a PDF Diff tab in the check that lists the metadata and page-by-page changes. Every version stays in the task’s history.
What if every new version has a new address?
Then monitor the page that links to the document, so you hear when a new file is posted.
Which monitoring modes work for PDFs?
Auto and Visual compare the rendered pages. Add a Notify me when rule if only certain changes matter, such as a price or a clause.
