We are in the process of evaluating the enterprise edition of BC3 and are coming up with some problems.
We are looking to use BC to compare 2 pdfs which the user will initiate from our Win-Forms application and view the comparison in the BC application. We had also wanted to use Sessions to ignore some of the elements within the pdf (such as creation date).
However when we try to use BC from a command line I am unable to select the session AND pick the two files at the same time;
bcomp.exe "TestSession" "z:\Test1.pdf" z:\Test2.pdf"
compares the TestSession with the Test1.pdf,
when I then try to do this via a script
load "FolderSession"
load "z:\compare1" "z:\compare2"
compare CRC
select all
text-report layout:side-by-side output-to:"z:\compare1\test.txt"
the text report is not really viewable by a user and I cannot figure out how to get the output into the BC application for viewing by a user. This is our first problem.
Secondly we would like to have the Session dynamically pulled from our application to the user's machine. We found that it is stored in an xml file in the user's application data directory. Is there any way short of modifying the xml that we can generate the Session dynamically?
We are really trying to make a scalable approach within our system using BC and really appreciate some help
