Hi,

I need to check/compare the contents from excel to PDF? Excel is my source and the PDF is final file.

Customer provide the new content in excel, we will update the excel information to indesign file and export as PDF. Then we will do proofreading if everything get updated.

For that I have to read the excel content from pdf script then check with the pdf content whether it is matching or not. If not matched then we will strikethrough.

Hope I gave a little clarity for my requirement.

Thanks,

K
