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.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
Cow milk is renneted at 30–34 °C, cut to wheat-to-maize-sized grains and pressed into a block called the tome. The tome rests for at least 10 hours, is milled and salted, then moulded and pressed a second time. The wheels ripen at least 30 days at 6–12 °C and at least 95 % humidity.
No fixed amounts recordedThe rules fix the steps, times and temperatures but no amounts. A full-size Cantal weighs 35–45 kg; a reduced-format ('petit') Cantal 8–10 kg.

Cow milk is renneted at 30–34 °C, cut to wheat-to-maize-sized grains and pressed into a block called the tome. The tome rests for at least 10 hours, is milled and salted, then moulded and pressed a second time. The wheels ripen at least 30 days at 6–12 °C and at least 95 % humidity. Made in 7 steps over 31 days. The longest step, ripen, takes at least 30 days (Ministère de l'agriculture 2019) and runs at 6–12 °C (Ministère de l'agriculture 2019). Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris does most of the fermenting.
Petit (reduced-format) Cantal8–10 kg, moulds 20–22 cm across, pressed at least 12 hours.
Cantal jeune, entre-deux and vieuxRipened 30–60, 90–210 and 240 or more days, with at least 57, 58 and 60 % dry matter.
Safety
Raw or heat-treated milk; the rules require at least 30 days of ripening and ban freezing the milk, curd or young cheese. ANSES, the French food safety agency, names short-ripened pressed uncooked raw-milk cheeses among the main sources of Salmonella, Listeria and Shiga-toxin E. coli illness from raw-milk cheese in France. Its examples are Morbier, Reblochon and Saint-Nectaire, not Cantal. It advises pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity not to eat raw-milk cheeses other than pressed cooked cheeses such as Gruyère or Comté.
