As needed, specify the page ranges in the documents to compare in the First Page and Last Page boxes.

Select the Document Description that best describes the documents you are comparing, and click OK.
Once the two documents are analyzed, a results document appears with the Compare panel open. The new document
is shown with annotations indicating the changes. The first page shows a summary of the comparison results.
5
From the Compare panel, do any of the following:
•
To hide the annotations that display changes, click Hide Results.
•
To specify the display options for compare results, click Show Options. You can specify the type of changes to
display, and the color scheme and opacity of the annotations. To return to the page thumbnails, click Hide Options.
•
To show each of the documents in its own window, from the options menu
, choose Show Documents Tiled
or Show Documents Side By Side. To synchronize the relevant pages while showing the documents in their own
windows, from the options menu, choose Synchronize Pages.
•
Click a page thumbnail to go directly to that page. To change the size of the page thumbnails, from the options
menu, choose Thumbnail Size > [
option
].
•
Drag the splitter bar at the bottom of the Compare panel up to show thumbnails of the old document. Click a
thumbnail from the old document to open it in a new window.
Document Description options
Reports, Spreadsheets, Magazine Layouts
Compares the content as one continuous text body, from end to end.
Presentation Decks, Drawings Or Illustrations
Looks at each slide or page as a mini-document, and matches ones that
are similar. Then compares the content of each matching document. Identifies documents that have moved, such as
slides in presentation.
Scanned Documents
Creates an image capture of each scanned page and compares pixels. Looks at each scanned page
and matches ones that are similar. Also identifies pages that are in a different order. This option is useful for comparing
images or architectural drawings.
Compare Text Only
Use this option with any document type. This option is designed for comparing text in large
documents (250 pages or more). This option also compares text between documents that have background artwork on
each page, which slows processing.
•
With either the reports or presentation options selected, the Compare Text Only option identifies only the text
differences between two documents.
•
With Scanned Documents selected, the text is compared separately from the graphics, and then the results are
combined. In documents containing magazine advertisements that have text on top of background image art, a
reflowed passage is compared in text-only mode. The artwork is compared separately in the background. The
differences (both text and line art and images) are combined into a single results document.
Preferences for viewing PDFs
The Preferences dialog box defines a default page layout and customizes your application in many other ways. For
viewing PDFs, examine the preferences options for Documents, General, Multimedia, and Page Display.
The preferences settings control how the application behaves whenever you use it; they are not associated with any
particular PDF document.
Note:
If you install any third-party plug-ins, set these preferences using the Third-Party Preferences menu item.
