PDF with embedded images

[jpittman2]

Hi,

I know that BC2 can compare the text of PDF files. However our company could really use the functionality similar to the Image comparison plugins, but with PDFs.

Has anyone out there written a plugin to do something like this?

We don't have a plug-in that will compare images or formatting in PDF files. The current PDF add on only supports text comparison.

The current add on is available for download from:

Maybe it could helpful to use a batch-converter as external plugin to convert the PDF to a bitmap file, and then open it in the picture-viewer?

Unfortunately there seem to be only non-free applications to do that job. I havn't found a good freeware alternatve ...


Bye

As I remember (from v6.0), Acrobat Pro has a pretty good graphical and text comparison feature built in. I do not think is will be usable from within BC though.
