Compare two documents

[ohmbru]

I have Adobe Acrobat 5.0. I would like write some code that will compare two documents.

Does anyone know where I can get info on the syntax for this?

Have you tried Google, or Adobe's site?

I have done some searches but did not find anything useful.

What do you want to discover when comparing the documents? Do you want to know if they're the same or not the same, or do you want to know WHERE the files differ?

Also... while we can assume, since you're asking in the Javascript forum, that you want to do this in JavaScript, do you want to do this:

1. In client-side Javascript,
2. In server-side Javascript, or
3. In Javascript inside a PDF file?

I want to identify where the differences occur.

I suppose I could do this in each document, but I prefer to execute it through the Batch Processing in Adobe.

Here’s what I would need it to do, specifically:

-Compare C:\Dialogue\Before\PSLPFR.PDF to C:\Dialogue\After\PSLPFR.PDF

Ouput the results to C:\Dialogue\Results\PSLPFR.PDF
