There is a reference for the command line parameters that can be used to open a PDF. Unfortunately it doesn't include comparison.

You can find it here:

There is no command line interface to do this in Acrobat.

Hi,

The right tool for that is the Compare Files tool.

It allows you to compare two PDFs I am not sure what you mean by using cmd command.

Did you mean using a script? that can be run from a command prompt terminal in Microsoft Windows ?

Hi ls_rbls,

Yes, I want to compare files using a script. That can run from a command prompt.

Yes like Test_Screen_Name said that is not possible from command line but you can manually create an action plugin with your script.

Have you been able to test scripts using the console in Adobe Acrobat?

You can do something like that too; Open the console and run your javascript.
