Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Trimmed cuts of beef leg are salted with curing salt and spices, stacked in their own brine for five days to five weeks, then air-dried for months and pressed several times into a rectangle. A white noble mould grows on the surface while it dries. It is a salt-and-drying cure, never smoked.

Amounts from a sourceThe specification sets the cuts, the curing and drying steps and the end product, not the salt or spice amounts; each maker uses a house blend.

Trimmed cuts of beef leg are salted with curing salt and spices, stacked in their own brine for five days to five weeks, then air-dried for months and pressed several times into a rectangle. A white noble mould grows on the surface while it dries. It is a salt-and-drying cure, never smoked. Made in 5 steps over 34 days – 7.2 months. The longest step, air-dry and press several times, takes 28 days – 6 months (Bundesamt für Landwirtschaft BLW 1999) and runs at 1–18 °C (Verein Kulinarisches Erbe der Schweiz (Patrim…).
Bündnerfleisch is preserved only by salt and drying and is never smoked. Repeated pressing gives its rectangular shape, and it must lose 45–55 % of its weight.
Walliser Trockenfleisch (viande séchée du Valais)A closely related salted, air-dried meat from the canton of Valais, named in the inventory entry.
Safety
The specification says salt and drying alone do the preserving, and requires a water activity of at most 0.92 in the finished product. The usual salting mix contains a curing agent, and salt and spices alone are allowed only if product safety is assured. This is raw-cured beef that is never cooked. CDC tells people who are pregnant, 65 or older or have a weakened immune system to avoid unheated deli meat and cold cuts, or to heat them until steaming hot.
German travel writers described it from the 18th century. The old name Bindenfleisch refers to the cloths (Binden) the meat was wrapped in. Tourism raised demand in the late 19th century, and slicing machines made thin slices common from the 1950s. Protected as an IGP in 1999.
