Understanding compare pdfs
PDF comparison inspects changes between document versions.
Align page order and distinguish visible layout changes from changes in extracted text.
A practical workflow
- Choose the required source files, if any. Files are handled as stated in the workspace privacy label.
- Set the available controls and apply the operation.
- Compare the actual output, check its dimensions and download the generated file.
Decisions and limitations
- First page (1 based)
- Render pixels per inch
20 MB per file. Page rendering supports a selected range of at most ten pages and 16 megapixels per rendered image. Password-protected files need to be unlocked before upload. Specialized document decoders must be available on the deployment.
