Comparing two pdf
Hi All,
I have compared two pdf files using below method
DigSigCompareWords
(docA, docB, true);
The report will be generated as document A document B where i'm seeing
all the compare words and matched text.
But i need to get the consolidated report like the one i'm getting from adobe acrobat XI professional compare document with text only.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Irosenth.
I have another problem i have sucecssfully compare two documents but i couldn't able to save 3rd document if i use activedocument to copy to pddoc and save also its not saving.
Please suggest ideas.
Note:
i have read all the forums releated to this that all the user expect this feature[comparison] as automation from 2010 stil not available in sdk XI,X.

Compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line
Does anyone know how to compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line. I want to do this via command line because we want to compare hundreds of file every day through some automated windows tasks.
If command line option is not available in acrobat, then is it feasible to make use of acrobat javascript API to do this task?
Any kind of help will be greatly.Command-line: Not possible.
JavaScript: Possible, but very limited. Basically the only thing you can do is simulate clicking the Compare Documents button. The rest has to be done manually.
However, it *might* be possible to automate this process a bit more using a plugin. Ask over at the Acrobat SDK forum for more information... -
How to programmatically compare two PDF documents.
We are in need of a solution related to comparing baselined and revised PDF documents, generally around 2-3 pages of content. Please note that I am looking for programatic comparison, ideally a dotnet based solution using Acrobat SDK. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Is there any recommendation considering there are no ways to programmatically compare two PDF's in .net. I noticed there are few solutions on Adobe site just like below but everyone seems to be stuck at the compare screen unable to simulate the Enter Key functionality.
AcroAppClass acroApp1 = new AcroAppClass();
acroApp1.Hide();
AcroPDDocClass acrpDoc1 = new AcroPDDocClass();
acrpDoc1.Open("c:\\MoreInformation.pdf");
acrpDoc1.OpenAVDoc("BaseLine");
AcroAppClass acroApp2 = new AcroAppClass();
acroApp2.Hide();
AcroPDDocClass acrpDoc2 = new AcroPDDocClass();
acrpDoc2.Open("c:\\MoreInformation1.pdf");
acrpDoc2.OpenAVDoc("Revised");
AcroAVDoc avDoc = new AcroAVDoc();
AcroAppClass acroMainApp = new AcroAppClass();
acroMainApp.MenuItemExecute("DIGSIG:CompareDocuments");
avDoc = (AcroAVDoc)acroMainApp.GetActiveDoc();
Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc acrpDiffDoc = (Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc)avDoc.GetPDDoc();
bool save = acrpDiffDoc.Save((short)PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull, "c:\\compared.pdf"); -

Comparing two PDFs using Compare Documents utility in Acrobat Pro in command line
I have a need to compare two PDFs based on text, images, annotations, formatting, headers/footers, styles etcetera. The Adobe acrobat pro tool is working very good as per my requirements. I need to call it through Java program or command line. It could be something which takes the two PDFs as argument and compare options as Pro version have - text, images, annotations, formatting, headers/footers and background and generates the list of differences. It could return the differences either in a form of pdf document highlighting the differences or the map which is mapping something like page numbers to the details of differences that are appearing.
This would be very helpful. Please answer asap.
Thanks in advance.Sounds like you want to do this on a server, but you should know that Adobe Acrobat cannot legally be used on a server.
For server-based PDF operations you can look at Adobe LiveCycle products or our Adobe PDFLibrary (available in both Java and C++) -
How to compare two PDFs using Visual Basic
Hi,
We have created one Visual Basic exe for comparing two PDFs.We are using AcroExch.App and AcroExch.avDoc
for creating adobe application object. And we are using MenuItemExecute "DigSig:ToolsDiff" for comparing the PDFs. This piece of code is working fine with Adobe 4.0 and it is comparing the PDFs and showing the mismatches.
But the same piece of code is not working with Adobe 8.0 Professional. Is there any similar command to MenuItemExecute "DigSig:ToolsDiff" in Adobe 8.0 to find out the mismatches or any alternate approaches that i can try to make the existing code works properly to see the mismatches between two PDFs.
Thanks in advance,
RajuThe only APIs for comparing PDFs are part of the plugin APIs, and not exposed to COM/IAC. You would need to write a custom plugin that called the APIs directly and then expose your plugin for use via VB.

To compare two pdfs using version 8
Hi,
Can somebody please help me in how to compare two pdfs using acrobat reader ver 8 or any other othe tool which can be used for this. I know acrobat reader 9.0 can do that but i don't want to go for it.
Thanks in advance
ShrutiThere is no product called Acrobat Reader any more.
There is the free product Adobe Reader. This cannot compare documents,
in any version.
There is the commercial product Acrobat. This comes in versions
Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Professional. Acrobat Professional can
compare documents, perhaps Acrobat Standard too. This is true in
version 8 and version 9.

Comparing two PDF documents | Acrobat Tips and Tricks | Adobe TV
This video will get you started with using the improved Compare Documents command in Acrobat 9 to identify what has changed between two versions of a PDF file.
http://adobe.ly/xqvrc7Hi there. Thanks for the video. But is there a feature to move among the found differences? Or to show ONLY the differences? In a large document, it's not enough to just "look for" the color-coded differences.
I have not found any such features on viewing a compared doc. I've also looked in the help and now am looking to see if other resources discussing PDF compare might show it. Thanks for any thoughts. -
[SOLVED] - compare two pdfs
Hi,
I need some advice. I've two versions of a book in pdf form, each some 570 pages long. I need to be able compare the versions and highlight the differences.
I haven't found an app with a gui and am not sure whether diff is really what I am after. Any suggestions out there?
Many thanks in advance.
Last edited by toad (2010-02-07 15:13:37)Right, finally got the second pdf file. It turns out that it the pagination is different, that it contains a headline for each and every page (which wasn't in the original), a time stamp, page numbers, etc.
I found kdiff3 but it seems unable to get to a stage where it is capable of finding two paras which start with the same words. Instead it hangs up on each of the above.
Sooooo, I suppose I've got to configure pdftotext to ignore this stuff? Or use awk or sed to go through the resulting txt file and get rid of exactly those phrases that bother me?
Hm, totally lost at the mo. Got to do some more research... -
It does not work to compare two PFD:s in Acrobate X
When comparing two PDF versions of the same text, that have been revised, the comparison report states "there are no differences", even though there are. When running the scan the following message appear:
Have tried the same procedure on my colleages computer and the same thing happens. What is wrong?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
// Mariaand was not able to find any sign of an admin installing it in the WindowsUpdate.log.
Then the Windows Update Agent DID NOT install this update, and it's not really a WSUS issue.
My typical response to such a claim would be to ask you to show me in the WindowsUpdate.log where the update was installed... but it seems that request has already been answered.
The more relevant question it seems, is HOW DID these updates allegedly get installed?
