Adobe PDF

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.

If you want to create the PDF component, you will find it in the Adobe Systems directory.
