Security Restrictions Comparing PDFs

Greetings,

My company uses DocuSign for employment documents, like bonus and compensations plans.   What I would like to do is compare an older PDF to a newly issued PDF that Im required to sign to see what has changed.   When I try to do so I receive a notification that security settings prevent comparison.

My question is whether an organization has to explicitly choose to allow/block comparison or if that feature is blocked when other more comprehensive security features are enabled. Or both.

Ideally I'd like to be able to ask our org not to block comparison because it doesnt compromise other aspects of PDF security.

Thanks!
