title: 2 or 3-way merge of word or pdf files
body: <p>So I am not sure if this exists, so I am asking the wise folks for StackOverflow for some help.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for a 2 or 3-way (preferably) document merging tool that works great with either MS Word documents or PDFs. What I have are multiple documents that I want to merge together by taking pages and sections from these documents and merging them into one single document.</p>
  
  <p>I thought that the best way to do this is to use a 3-way merging tool to help me perform this merge. I've taken a look at the following merge tools:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Araxis Merge
  Beyond Compare 4
  Compare It!
  DeltaWalker 2.1.1
  DiffMerge
  ExamDiff Pro 7.0
  Meld
  SmartSynchronize
  WinMerge
  UltraCompare
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>None of these quite fit my needs. Most can't read PDFs and Word Docs. The few that can, only UltraCompare I could get to save the changes. However, the compare only imports the text (all images are lost) and the changes are saved in .rtf format, so I lose a lot of the formatting. I want to be able to save back to the original format.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone used a tool that can cleanly merge Word and/or PDF documents together by allowing the import of sections/pages? </p>
