How to find and list file name differences in two directories?

I have two folders:

\txt
\pdf

I have batch converted *.txt files from \txt\*.txt to \pdf\*.pdf.

\txt has 6000 files.
\pdf has 5950 files.

How can I use a Windows batch file to list the 50 files not in pdf, so that I can check why the conversion failed on these 50 files?

In essence: two directories should have files with the same file names, but a different file extension. List the 'missing' file names.
