I compared 2 pdf files, each 643 pages long, appx 3MB in original file size.
Ran Beyond Compare 4 on my Windows 10 PC and it yielded an incorrect mismatch. That is, it reported the 1st pdf file had a value 2.5 in 1 column and value 0.1 in that same column for the 2nd pdf file.
However, reviewing the original pdf files confirmed no difference and further, the actual value in both pdf files was 0.3
Comparing pdf files for similar output, (i.e., same report using different parameters,) yielded the expected 100% successful compares.
So far, only thing to note is that the 1st pdf file was reported by Beyond Compare 4 to have 3,230,969 bytes whereas the 2nd pdf file was 3,201,219 bytes. There were differences in file size for the similar output pdf files, too, so that may be a red herring.
And so, at this point, we're going with this is a bug, unless someone has any ideas as to what may be the cause.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
