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.

Emmental français Est-Central PGI
Raw cow milk, chilled to 2–6 °C on the farm, is standardised to 27–34 g/L fat, seeded with cultures and set with calf rennet at 31–33 °C. The curd is cooked above 50 °C for at least 30 minutes, pressed at least 4 hours and brined 24–90 hours. The wheel ripens in three phases (cold, warm, then cold again) for at least 12 weeks; the eyes form in the warm cellar.

Raw cow milk, chilled to 2–6 °C on the farm, is standardised to 27–34 g/L fat, seeded with cultures and set with calf rennet at 31–33 °C. The curd is cooked above 50 °C for at least 30 minutes, pressed at least 4 hours and brined 24–90 hours. The wheel ripens in three phases (cold, warm, then cold again) for at least 12 weeks; the eyes form in the warm cellar. Made in 9 steps over 3.2 days – 5.9 days. The longest step, brine, takes 24 h – 3.8 days (Cahier des charges de l'indication géographiq…) and runs at 10–18 °C (Cahier des charges de l'indication géographiq…).
Made only from raw milk and ripened at least 12 weeks, against 6 weeks for standard French Emmental; the dairy may not own any equipment that heat-treats the milk above 40 °C.
Milk
Raw cow milk; grazing for at least 6 months a year; all basic fodder from the area
Ripening
At least 12 weeks (84 days) from making; 6 weeks for standard French Emmental
Size
Wheel 60–130 kg, 0.70–1 m across, at least 14 cm high at the edge; at least 45% fat in dry matter and 62 g dry matter per 100 g
The milk stays raw, so the specification chills it to 2–6 °C within 3 h 30 min of milking and limits farm storage to 24–48 hours depending on the temperature. The US FDA says ageing raw-milk cheese for 60 days may not remove E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella, and Listeria may grow in certain cheeses during ageing. The CDC says people at higher risk, including pregnant women, people 65 or older and people with weak immunity, should avoid cheese made with raw milk unless it is heated to 165 °F (74 °C) or until steaming hot.
The specification says milk was abundant in summer in the Middle Ages, and that making large wheels, which needed up to 900 litres of milk each, led producers to form cooperatives that pooled their milk. It calls the Est-Central the region of the fruitières, the cheese cooperatives. The PGI was registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 of 12 June 1996; Regulation (EU) No 1005/2013 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/494 later approved non-minor amendments to the specification.
