TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
"Now, I wonder whether there is a tool to compare the content of PDF files.
This would help to detect the changes made. I already considered some sort
of workaround by saving the PDF files as RTF files and then run a
comparison. However, since I talk about quite a couple of files, I wonder
whether there are other solutions you know of."
------------------------------
Acrobat 5.0 has a Compare feature.
Tools>Compare>Two Documents (or Two Versions Within a Signed Document).
You can compare page by page visual differences, text only, or text
including font information (style, size, typeface).
Acrobat displays the two documents side-by-side, with differences
highlighted.
Hope that helps -
