Reply To: InDesign Native Files and PDF Comparison

Eugene–you do understand what I'm talking about. :)

Is that faster and easier than just printing out the PDF and comparing to the printed copy of the InDesign file (i.e. flipping through it and checking page breaks)? To me, it seems it would take more time to compare the files and hover over stuff.

It seems that what is wanted is software that will compare the ID file and the PDF and tell us within seconds the difference (mainly page breaks).

It's an odd request–I know. And actually they're not requesting, but were told by someone about how they use it (although their PDFs and native files don't match half the time).
