Compare

Compare shows the wording changes between two versions of a PDF. Removed words are highlighted in red and added words in green. The comparison runs on your device, so the files are not uploaded.

Compare two PDFs#

  1. In Compare, under Original PDF, pick the older version.
  2. Under Edited PDF, pick the newer version. Use Swap if you picked them the wrong way round.
  3. Click Compare.

Review the result#

The Additions and Deletions dropdowns list every change. Pick one to jump to it, or search the list.

Limitations#

  • Compare checks extracted text only. Layout, formatting and image changes are not detected.
  • A PDF with no text layer can't be compared. For scanned documents, run OCR on both files first.
