Hello,
I work as IT support and i have one user who has Adobe Pro.
She wanted to compare two PDF files and find the differences.
We used the following procedure https://helpx.adobe.com/be_fr/acrobat/using/compare-documents.html
The result we expected wasn't what was shown in the How To.
We tried with two files and where we knew the differences but no good result either
Any ideas, solutions?
Kind regards

Hi Thomas,
Hope you are doing well.
You did find the Help article for the comparison of two document. The steps mentioned here should work well: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/compare-documents.html
However, it didn't in your case. Just curious to know what exactly went wrong and what was the difference between two document? Can you share it with example or the sample files itself?
Also, make sure that document you are working with isn't secured.
Just for testing, how about checking it with a different set of documents?
Thanks,
Akanchha

The Adobe compare tool works half the time, in my experience. Try using Draftable (https://draftable.com/desktop) for PDF comparison. I know this was over a year ago, but hopefully this will help.

Hi, do you know if there is something comparable out there for the Mac? It says that this app only works with Windows. (Having a lot of trouble with the compare tool at my job).

Drafts me has an online comparison tool as well as their desktop app. The online tool will work with a Mac.

I can't use that because we work with secure files. Thanks though!

PDFElement will be your best bet for that. I work for a law firm and that's what I have my one Mac user using. Best of luck! 😊
