Hi to all, I am trying to compare 2 documents and the training is perfect online but I don't have a compare tick in tools.  Do I not have the right version of Adobe Acrobat DC?

Thanks,

Kris

Thanks everyone!  I have the Classic version and that got me the info I needed.

First of all, I am going to move this from the non-technical Lounge forum to the appropriate Acrobat forum.

Do I not have the right version of Adobe Acrobat DC?

What version of Adobe Acrobat DC do you have? Compare is available in both DC Classic and Continuous.

Compare two versions of a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat.

There are a couple of ways to find it. One is in the menu shown below, the other is to type "Compare" in the search tools box.

Thanks BarbBinder.  I have checked properties for my Adobe Acrobat DC and that is all the description there is.  Is there another way I can find out if this is Classic or Continuous?  I followed the trace you provided and it did not show the compare files options, but I do not have Adobe Pro.  Thanks again for helping.

Please go to Help > About Acrobat. This will tell you whether you have Classic (basically, the old frozen permanent license) or Continuous (the more up to date subscription version).

Now visit Compare two versions of a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat. again armed with knowing which one you have, as there are two separate instructions.
