Apple's Preview is not Adobe Acrobat Pro and has no design feature that allows you to perform digital PDF file comparisons other than by sight. One can compare checksums between two PDFs in the Terminal but all that will do is confirm they have different content if the checksums are different.
You will also find that there are things exclusive to Adobe Acrobat Pro that are not found in other paid PDF editors.

Thanks, it is known that Acrobat can do that for a fee but the question was can Apple Preview do that?
