consider, I have two pdf forms and I want to compare the data/text that is printed on them to see if they are same or not.

What I have tried:

I get the content of what's printed on the pdf forms, using a free library that extracts the text from pdf. but this only gives me all the text, and doens't maintain
the order the text is printed.

what are few ways/methods/tools that I can use?
