Also, the output of X and 9 is in two separate files, and since we are required to submit this information to the various States as one file, we would be required to combine the two files and sink up the pages to display side-by-side. When we tested version X, we noticed the amount of time to run the compare action took a considerable amount of time, when compared to 8. For this example, the old document would have a red line through the number 30, indicating it has been changed, and the new page on the right would have the number 60 underlined in blue. With Adobe 8, when we run the Compare Documents action it creates one PDF with the two pages side by side within the same window the old document is on the left and the new document is on the right. When we run the Compare Documents action we select the older document first then the newer document and select the textual differences type of comparison.

Thank you for your response to my inquiry.īoth Adobe Professional 8 and X have the Compare Documents capability, where you can compare an older version of a PDF to a newer version and, for our purposes, identify what text was either removed from the old copy and or added to the new copy.Įxample, we may have a sentence in the original PDF that states “Expenses are covered for 30 days from the date of injury.” and with the new PDF changed the number of days from 30 to 60 to read “Expenses are covered for 60 days from the date of injury”.
