Comparison ApplicationActive

The following information is derived from the plugin description.

Intuitive, intelligent comparison of your documents in i-net PDFC using a web browser interface.

Your documents, such as PDF or DocX, contain actual content, not just text or images. i-net PDFC intelligently compares the content in your files. Any differences are shown in a visually gorgeous display, akin to holding up two pieces of paper to the light.

The i-net PDFC comparison application can be used by a large number of users at the same time, with everyone comparing their documents on the same server. Comparisons can be shared with other users effortless - with restrictions to individual users or groups.

The same effortless sharing applies to comparison profiles to ensure the team is on the same page. Comparison profiles offer a reproducable set of rules that define how documents are compared to each other.

Comparison results can be stored for later use - or to compare a base document against another - exported as reports or as side-by-side documents for external storage. The comparison application displays differences both visually and as a list of changes. Highlighting marked changes in one document shows corresponding passages in the other.
