Compare PDF FAQ
- What is Compare PDF?
- It places two PDFs side by side and lists missing pages or different page sizes. It is visual, not Word track-changes.
- Are files uploaded?
- No. Compare runs locally. Both files can stay on this device after refresh if quota allows. Toolshelf does not receive them.
- Will two scans of the same page match?
- Often not. Pixel and size noise counts as a difference. This is not a legal redline.
