Compare PDF
Compare PDF is a Windows product designed to help people comparing electronic documents. Document comparison is necessary when people need to learn what changes were made in file's text and if the changes are correct. The basic and obvious ability to compare files word by word was developed for files that have a common ancestor. It is useful in a case you have two versions of the same document. Folder comparison enables setup monitoring of changes for any project or web-site. Compare PDF was specially designed to work with paperless PDF files. The significant new feature for consumers appeared in Compare PDF 2.0, comparison by keywords, which was developed to help people to compare non-related documents. You could never notice the difference unless using comparison by keywords.
