Hi sd65894895,

What is the dot version of Acrobat Pro DC and OS installed on your system?

Make sure that both the documents are not secured.

Regards,

Meenakshi

I have the same problem since upgrading to DC last December. I finally figured out how to download extra tools, but the Compare Documents feature is grayed out. Any advice?
