Which API would be best suited to check if two pdf files are the same?

I have a use case in which multiple PDF files are uploaded. I want to make sure no duplicate files get uploaded based on all the documents that have already been uploaded. What would be the best way to achieve this? Thank you.

We don't have an API for that. However, the safest way to detect duplicate PDF files is to convert each page to a high resolution image then compare the images page by page. There are many tools that will help you do that.

That sounds quite computationally expensive. Are there any other approaches that you might recommend? Also, for the above approach, any tools that. you recommend? Thank you @Joel Geraci
