Adobe PDF comparator
The comparator for Adobe PDF is integrated in the PDF and Documentation components.
- The functionality for PDF comparison is available by installing the octoplant products.
Please be aware when using the PDF comparator
Problems with PDF comparison may occur with large documents:
- Performance loss
- Page assignment when inserting new pages When inserting a new page, all following pages will be marked as different.
Note
If the PDF document consists of multiple layers, there is a possibility that not all layers will be recognized by the PDF comparator.
Note
If you want to save only PDF documents in your component, the PDF component is recommended. When saving documents
created with different editors, the Documentation component is recommended because it has integrated binary, ASCII, Excel, PDF and Word comparators.
