Contrast pdf files to find all differences

February 24th, 2010

Comparison of files and folders can be a difficult task. Of course, when comparison concerns small files with little information, you can do everything by yourself. However, even in this case there are no guarantees that you will find and mark all differences and similarities between the files. But when we are talking about tens or even maybe hundreds of files which need to be compared this sounds like a nightmare.

PDF files are among the most popular file types used in business documentation and office paperwork. Thus, these file types often need to be contrasted. Why would PC users need to compare files? Obviously, they need to find differences between different document versions. And obviously, this information is very valuable in business terms.

It is not easy to compare huge pdf files, as Acrobat documents are often pricelists, business offers, advertising projects, reports, tech specification of products etc. In other words these are the docs that contain sensitive and valuable information, lots of figures and so on. One needs to be very attentive when contrasting them.

In order to avoid mistakes and get 100% accurate comparison results one should use PDF Compare from AKS-LABS. This program specializes in comparison of pdf files. The ultimate goal is providing the user with the most complete information on differences and similarities between the compared files.

PDF Compare is a very easy to use program with a very user friendly interface. You do not need any special knowledge or IT experience to operate it. However, if you really want to get excellent comparison results you need to smartly use program features.

First of all, it is important to choose the right comparison method. You can choose either char by char, word by word comparison, or comparison by keywords methods. It is up to you to decide which one you use. However, you need to know that char by char and word by word comparison methods are good for files that have very similar contents (more than 50% of similarity).

It is also possible to adjust color scheme. All differences between files are marked with color. You may set own palette for added, modified or deleted words. It is also possible to adjust program interface by rotating and switching panels.

Commenting and reporting functions are certainly one of the greatest advantages of PDF Compare. With reports generated by PDF Compare you may communicate with your colleagues without calling them or meeting in person. Comments which you may add to any line of the texts will be displayed in the final report.

First of all you should choose the right comparison method. There are three methods available: char by char, word by word and comparison by keyword. Do not think that some methods are effective and some not. They are all OK. But each of them serves different purposes. Thus, if pdf files you compare are very different and have very few things in common, then comparison by keyword is just right for you. Char by char and word by word methods will be good for those who are interested in all, even the slightest, changes between the compared files.

To fully explore power of Compare PDF you should definitely pay your attention to commenting function. This is not like posting comments at the forum. Commenting function makes Compare PDF a communication tool. You can not express your opinion on changes in pdf documents, but also give instructions to your colleagues. Your comments will be visible in the program interface and comparison reports.

Besides, comparison report deserves a special attention. This is not just a formal report but an informative document containing statistic information on the files and all differences/similarities between them.
