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.

Maize kernels are soaked, sprouted in the dark, ground and boiled for many hours until the mash turns yellow. The liquid is poured into a clay pot kept only for tesgüino, plant "catalysts" such as bark, leaves or lichen are added, and it ferments for 2 to 3 days into a sour, slurry-like maize beer drunk at communal tesgüinadas. Made in 7 steps over 7.3 days – 8.5 days. The longest step, sprout in the dark, takes 5 days (Ojeda-Linares C. et al. 2021). Saccharomyces cerevisiae, found in tesgüino from many places and Lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, Streptococcus), present from the cooled gruel onward and rising through fermentation do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceThe common Rarámuri method as summarised by FAO from Taboada and colleagues (1977), starting from about 10 kg of maize. Each family scales it to the gathering.

What makes this one different
Unlike tejuino, a maize-dough drink sweetened with brown sugar, tesgüino is a beer of sprouted maize, fermented with plant catalysts. Its yeasts live in the clay pot itself, so the pot is never used for anything else, and its broken pieces go into the next one.
Stalk-juice tesgüino (paciki; Tepehuan vougadi navaitai)Fresh or dry maize stalks are pounded on a rock, rinsed through a reed or willow sieve, and the juice is boiled with water for hours, given catalysts and fermented 2 to 3 days in the dark.
Mestizo tesgüinoLower in alcohol; a refreshing drink in hot weather rather than a staple.
The name tesgüino, like tejuino, comes from the Nahuatl tecuin, meaning heartbeat. Among the Rarámuri, the tesgüinada is one of the most important events of life, and players take tesgüino to the ball games and drink it for strength.
