Is there a way to pass two PDFs directly into Acrobat's "Compare Files" tool?
Hi! New poster and relatively new dev here, so bear with me...
I've been tasked with adding comparison functionality to one of my office's custom apps. The requirements call for the ability to do basically exactly what the "Compare Files" tool in Acrobat Pro (this guy:
) already does quite robustly: visually compare two different PDF versions side-by-side while highlighting any differences.
All of the colleagues in my office already have licenses for Acrobat Pro, so it seems silly to reinvent this wheel. However, I would like to make their QOL a little better by allowing them to select two PDF's from *our* app, then push a button (or some such) that opens Acrobat and tosses the selected files directly into this comparison tool.
I explored the Acrobat DC SDK Documentation, and while there was lots of talk of controlling Acrobat from an external application, I didn't find anything that referred to this particular capability (though I totally could have missed it by searching for the wrong thing, or something).
Is what I'm describing possible at this point? If so, are there any resources that can help me set this up?
Thanks very much.
EDIT: I should probably add, the app is an old Windows Forms program written in VB.NET. Everyone is running Windows machines.
