Hi
I have a problem in work. We use a database that generates standard letters that are sent to customers. When changes are made, we must compare sample letters generated by the old and new database to see if there are any unexpected changes made. We do this by using the compare tool in Adobe Pro v 7.
The problem is that there are quite a few PDFs to compare, it often takes an hour or so to go through manually, so I want to try to automate this process. It looks like javascript is the way forward for this.
I know HTML javascript quite well, but have never used any other form of it. Does anyone know of or have a script they could share to help I'd be very grateful.
Also, looking online, I couldn't really find any easy to use reference for AcrobatJavaScript functions of object references. If anyone can pointme in the direction of something like this this may be enough for me to figure a script out for myself.
Many thanks.
What you can do, is use JS to make your own compare tool. However, you will be limited to comparing just text, comments and form fields. Is that sufficient for your needs?
