Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Version 2015.006.30497. I can compare two unrelated docs, different page numbers etc and get a doc that says no differences found. Scanning for text only. Is this a known issue I missed? Thanks!

This was happening to me when I was just trying to compare text of two PDFs. Here's what worked for me:
I exported my original docs into a .txt file. Then I exported those into PDFs and compared. It seemed like an extra step, but it was the only thing I could get to work.

I'm having the same issue. I have OCR'd the different documents and ensured they are searchable. However, when I "Compare" it says there are 0 text changes, yet the whole first page is different. Is there a fix? I really don't want to have to do this by hand, considering there are a ton of legal pleadings I need to compare.

What happens if you only select that first page?

It says there are 2 changes, but those are only the headers. It doesn't pick up any of the other changes.

I have the same issue. I have a set of documents, which I have in PDF and I would like to compare them with a newer version of them. The newer versions have been sent to on paper. We made scans out of those. I have used the tool "enchance scans" and got a searchable version of the new version of the docs. However if I try to do the compare, than the result says "No differences were found between documents" as you can see on the screenshot below. After manually checking the two documents there are several changes which should have been found. Please help me, this is a realy frustrating issue. Thank you in forward!
