I am comparing two PDF files generated from one word file. first PDF is nothing but original word file and 2nd PDF is updated with some minor changes like additional spaces, some text missing. When i compared both PDF files it highlights additional/incorrect differences. Some of them are like word appearing on next line hence showing as a difference. Ideally if word is appearing on next line it should say match and shouldn't highlighted as difference.Is there anyway option available in ADOBE PRO that can compare only word to word, spaces between words and show the result.

Hi,

Greetings!! Thank you for using the Compare feature.

For comparing only text-related differences in two PDFs, there is an option of 'Compare Text Only' checkbox on the landing page of the 'Compare Files' app and then start the comparison of the two documents.

Please reach out to us in case, you face any issues. Also, it'll be great if you can share a snapshot of the issue you've faced.

Thanks,
