Adobe 11 PDF Compare not working well

[robm777772]

Several versions ago Adobe 8 used to compare PDF's well and it would give you a side by side output of only the pages with changes and they would be underlined in blue.  What happened to this?  Is there any way to get this kind of output in Adobe 11?  The comparison is terrible in the new adobe.  If you have a substantial number of pages it usually freezes and then its a terrible system of bubbles and all the pages show up.  It really makes it quite difficult to determine what actually changed.  Is there any way to speed it up/ ONLY see the pages that changed like the older versions would allow?

Hi ,

Please tell the OS you work on.

Also try to update it the latest patch and see if that fixes the issue.

the same problem affects multiple people.  what do you mean by repair?  also how can i run a comparison and only see the pages with changes similar to the older adobe?

Hi ,

You would get to see the repair option under help menu.

Under tools ,you would get to see the option of Compare documents.

Say I compare two 500 page documents and there are maybe 15 pages with changes.  The old adobe comparison output would give you just those 15 pages with changes in an easy to see side by side format.  The new adobe comparison still spits out all 500 pages and you have to slowly scroll all the way through looking for changes which takes substantially longer.  Is there any way to only see the pages that changed in the output?
