hi,
I tried to compare two pdfs where one was corrupt (when I re-downloaded from Hotmail it returned to me corrupt).
Anyway, my issues to report are:
1) when I compared them, the corrupt pdf causes BC to notify me that it couldn't be rendered, and then shows that side of the comparison differently to the other side (which displays as pdf text).
2) when I tried to do a 'text view' compare on the raw pdf file [yes opening the binary pdf file in a text view rather than inside of a hex view]
it displayed, however, there are many white spaces where some type of symbol should be displayed to represent it (like in notepad++ etc)
My How To question is:
how do I compare the pdf files in text mode so that the 'binary characters' are also represented uniquely rather than all of them being 'white space'?
- regarding the 'compare' algo, I want the comparison to do a binary / hex comparison, but just show the results as 'text mode'.
Can someone please help.
Thanks.
