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.

Salted pieces of freshwater fish are mixed with plenty of cooled cooked rice, packed into a sealed jar and left for about a week. Lactic bacteria ferment the rice, and the mix turns sour, falling below pH 4.0. The sour rice-and-fish mash is usually sautéed before it is eaten. Made in 4 steps over 7 days – 11 days. The longest step, pack into a sealed jar and ferment, takes 7–11 days (Orillo C.A. and Pederson C.S. 1968) and runs at 26–29 °C (Cabal M.S 2024). Salt is 2–10 % (Cabal M.S 2024). Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Pediococcus cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum and Streptococcus first, then Leuconostoc and Lactobacillus from day 3, with Lactobacillus dominant at the end do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceA 750 g case-study batch from Bicol (Cabal et al. 2024), with rice and fish at 65 to 35. A lab burong bangus used 29 % milkfish, 69 % rice and 2 % rock salt; household recipes vary.

What makes this one different
Burong isda uses much more rice than fish and little salt, so it is a quick lactic ferment that turns sour in a week. Bagoong and patis are salted at about 15–20 % and are not soured by rice.
Red burong isda (Pampanga)Angkak (red yeast rice) is added and colours it red (Wikipedia).
White burong isda (Zambales and western Central Luzon)No angkak (Wikipedia).
Burong bangusMade with milkfish.
Hingmay and kuyog (Bicol)Similar fish ferments of Bicol; kuyog uses small rabbitfish and ginger.
Safety
The acid is the main protection. Burong dalag fell below pH 4.0 within a week, under the pH 4.6 limit the FDA gives for growth of Clostridium botulinum, but it must be kept covered or yeasts and moulds grow. A Bicol case-study batch at 10 % salt had an aerobic plate count of 2.1 × 10^7 CFU/g, above the 5 × 10^5 CFU/g guideline of the Philippine FDA, though E. coli was not found. Clean fish, clean jars and enough salt matter.
Buro is the Filipino word for this way of fermenting with salt, and Central Luzon and Bicol both keep it. The ferment is close to the rice-and-fish ferments of mainland Southeast Asia and to Japanese narezushi.
