How to open acrobat in java and compare two files using javacode

I am absolutely new to use acrobat software in Java. I want to open two pdf files at a time and then compare the differences between them thru java program .
i am not sure how to do it. iam trying many ways without success.
I used jre and could open open files using runtime method , but couldn't do comaparision. i..e could't access tools menu (alt+t) Compare two files and <enter>. help in java will be appreciated.
Pls guide me the steps to use the acrobat library. At http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat i found supporting vb and vc only.
Any help or links are greatly appreciated.

iText is an open source PDF library, reads a PDF one page at a time. You could check it out. I've used it for writing/splitting/concatenating PDFs, but not comparing files

  • How to compare two files using MD5?

    Hi,all:
    How to compare two files to know if they're the same without any difference?I want to use MD5, but I just konw how get a message digest of a string. How to get a message digest of a file? Or there is other method to compare two files?
    Thanks advance!

    This is starting to sound rather a lot like a homework problem.
    An MD5 message digest is simply a 16 byte array. To compare two message digests...
    byte[] md5incoming = ...
    byte[] md5comparison = ...
    if( md5incoming.equals(md5comparison) ) {
       System.out.println("MD5 Checksums match");
    }To find out how to generate an MD5 checksum, please look up MessageDigest in the API documentation, and do a google search for "MD5 java"
    In a networked scenario, there are two issues - firstly the performance in sending copies of files all over the place (imagine if it's a 10Gb file to be compared over a 14.4K modem link, this would take a while). Secondly, the network link itself might insert an error in the file and you'd get a false miss.
    By only sending MD5 digests over the link, you simultaneously reduce the error (shorter files are less likely to be corrupted) and reduce the transmission time (16 bytes takes practically no time to transmit over damp string, let alone any sort of sensible device).

  • How to open VLC wit JAVA and later play a file with it..?

    Hi,
    I do it if I want to Play a file with VLC:
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
              try {
                   rt.exec("C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc " + "C:\\songs\\llarala.mp3");

                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block

    but I want to Open VLC and later work with this VLC opend, for example to Play a file with it. Anyone knows how to do it? Thanks.. I' m new about that..

    Keep working as you are is the simplest way. The VLC client (and server) has a pretty rich command-line interface, you can do pretty much anything through the command-line that you can with any other interface. Or there's the telnet interface, if all those processes are too much

  • How to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using RoboHelp 6.

    Hello everyone, I need your help. I have recently upgraded
    from RH x3 to RH V6. I have just completed the installation of RH6
    after spending long time with Adobe customer support as it took
    them long time to figure out how to provide me the unlocking key to
    install RH v6.
    BTW I have only installed RoboHelp 6 by itself. I did not
    install their Source Control because we already have Visual Source
    Safe which we have been using in our company.
    Also, since I had Adobe Reader 8 installed on my PC, I did
    not install Acrobat Element 7 either. As I suppose if Acrobat 7 or
    higher is installed RH v6 was not going to install Acrobat Element
    7.
    Well, now after I have installed RH v6, my first step is to
    find out how to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using
    RoboHelp 6.
    RH x3 is installed on my old PC and I am working on my new PC
    where I have installed RH V6.
    Sorry, for providing you too many details, the purpose is
    only to give you a clear picture.
    Please, give me your feedback if I am doing everything
    correct and how should I open the project from an earlier version.
    Thanks

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you so much for the response. Actually, after I posted
    the question on Forum we had lost internet connection for some time
    and I just went ahead and tried it by myself.
    This is what I did – since we use MS Visual Source
    Safe, my all files were in the working folder of VSS in my c drive.
    I just clicked the Open tab/More Files in RoboHelp Starter and
    located the RoboHelp HTML Project File. It opened without any
    problem. Everything looks alright.
    Is there anything specific I should be checking to make sure
    if it is working fine in this version of RH. Because I did not
    create this project, somebody else did and I have never used this
    tool before this is the first time I will be using.
    I found your site pretty helpful though and it did have some
    information about Source Safe. I still have one question related to
    Visual Source Safe that Is RoboHelp v6 linked to VSS automatically
    and check the files out from it automatically whenever a project is
    opened or we have to manually set the link between the RH6 &
    VSS.
    In RH x3 whenever I would open a project it would prompt a
    message that in order to open this project the following files need
    to be writable, would you like to make them writable, selecting
    that option would checkout all the files from the VSS to make them
    writable. However, in RH V6 I opened an existing project and it
    opened without checking out the project files from VSS. Do you have
    any idea what’s happening?
    Ps: Do you recommend any book on RH 6 for starters or any
    other recommendation?
    Your help is always appreciated

  • How to compare two files char by char

    Hi,
    I want to compare two files and after Comparison i want all the differences in the new file has to be updated to old file (Without deleteing the contents of the file)?
    Any help will be appriciated.
    Thanks.

    I think i have to elaborate my question�.. for
    example take a file called xyz.xml which contain some
    data which I don�t want to get deleted� after some
    days this file has been modified (i.e. some more data
    has been added) . Now without overwriting the file
    /deleting the earlier contents of file xyz.xml. How
    do I update xyz.xml file?
    Now I think iam clear.
    Thanks.This does not make sense at all! Either your file has been changed or it has not. If it has been changed then there is nothing to do. If it has not been changed then there is nothing to do.

    Hi,
    The "square" symbol that you are referring to is probably a CRLF (Carriage Return - Life Feed) Control Character.
    This is more commonly known as a "Enter" at the end of a line / sentence.
    To clean this character from strings in Java, please use:
    String patternStr = "(?m)$^|[\\r\\n]+\\z";
    String replaceStr = " ";
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternStr);
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr);
    return matcher.replaceAll(replaceStr);
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks.

  • How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion?

    How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion? Thanks!

    although I believe I *have* used the .suit extension when I was creating suitcase files for TrueType fonts.
    You can get away with that because you haven't really changed anything. It's already a suitcase file, with a Type code of FFIL (the Creator code is mostly irrelevant). Adding .suit still tells the OS it's a suitcase.
    However, if you do something silly like change the Type code to LWFN (the outline portion of a PST1 set), then neither Font Book, or any other font manager knows what to do with it. It's recognizing the LWFN code, but the data structure of course doesn't match. The file is still a Mac legacy TrueType font. Suitcase Fusion 5 tosses this on the screen when I change the Type code to the wrong one:
    Changing the extension to something obviously wrong, like .otf produces the same message. It's trying to parse the data according to what the extension says it is, and nothing lines up.
    Trying to use .ttf or .ttc also doesn't work. A Mac legacy suitcase TrueType font is not built the same as a .ttf or .ttc font. Either is technically correct (it is a TrueType font), but that's the only similarity. What's happening in that case is Mac legacy TT fonts have all of the data in the resource fork. When you add .ttf or .ttc to the name, the OS and any font manager then tries to find the data in the data fork. Nothing there.

    Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.
