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.
Nixtamalised maize dough is mixed with water and piloncillo into a thick drink, then left 12 to 24 hours with some old tejuino to sour. Vendors sell it with salt and lime juice, sour and only lightly alcoholic. Made in 3 steps over 12 h – 24 h. The longest step, add old tejuino and ferment, takes 12–24 h (Rubio-Castillo Á.E 2021). Pichia yeasts and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in commercial (street) tejuino and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Limosilactobacillus fermentum in artisanal tejuino do most of the fermenting.

What makes this one different
Street tejuino starts from nixtamal masa sweetened with piloncillo and sours in a day, seeded by old tejuino. Indigenous tesgüino and artisanal tejuino start from germinated maize and ferment for days; mestizo tesgüino is lower in alcohol than the Indigenous drink.
Artisanal tejuino (germinated maize)Maize is germinated in the dark and sun-dried 2–3 days, mixed with water and cooked; the sediment ferments 24 h, then the whole is filtered and fermented about 7 days, to pH 2.91–3.52.
Tesgüino (Tarahumara and others)Germinated maize or maize-stalk juice, often with plant barks; see the tesgüino entry.
Safety
Total coliforms were absent from all eight tejuino samples tested, and the drink is sour, at about pH 3.4–4.0.
The names tesgüino and tejuino come from the Nahuatl tecuin, "heartbeat". The mestizo drink of northern and western Mexico is lower in alcohol than Indigenous tesgüino and is drunk mainly as a refreshment in hot weather.
