Join Lori DeFurio as she discusses how Acrobat simplifies the tedious process of comparing two versions of a document. (01:07)

Save time and money with fast file comparison

Acrobat X lets you compare virtually any type of PDF content, from magazine layouts to Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. The resulting PDF report shows you the exact differences between two document versions, eliminating the need for you to compare the files manually line by line and image by image.

Analyze every document difference

Acrobat X provides detailed information on exactly what has changed, and where, between files. The comparison report includes changes in text, fonts, graphics, and even the order of pages and slides. You can quickly review each highlighted change by opening the pop-up fields, viewing document thumbnails, or comparing the documents side by side.
