CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Compare PDF is a file-comparison utility that stands out against other applications in its category because it compares both Adobe Acrobat and non-Adobe Acrobat files. After a flawless installation, the program initiates a well-designed interface that is easy to use and comprehend. In fact, it's so easy to use that even novice users won't need to browse through its help file. You just have to select the files or folders to be compared, and choose to compare by characters, word, or keyword, and the program runs and produces the results efficiently. The information panel contains the general results of the comparison made while the keywords tree contains the keyword comparison of the files. Reports can also be generated through these results in HTML format. However, the result of the comparison depends on the quality of the image or PDF files such that poor image quality reduces the accuracy of comparison. Nevertheless, Compare PDF is a sensible choice for any user at $30.Publisher's description
From AKS-Labs :Compare PDF can compare both - related and non-related Adobe Acrobat PDF files. "By keywords" comparison feature highlights common and unique keywords, allowing comparing non-related PDFs. Word-by-word comparison compares files with a common ancestor.

Finally, you can bring comparison details to simple or advanced structured report.

This software version | All versions -
Version: Compare PDF 2.1
Cons: I tried to open files and the program kept asking for a password even though my files aren't protected by password. Couldn't even try it. Wouldn't pay a cent for it.
-
Version: Compare PDF 2.1
Pros: Never got a chance to test.
Cons: Program did not launch in Vista
-
Version: Compare PDF 2.1
Pros: Only took 20 minutes to get rid of
Cons: I have a plain vanilla XP installation. This thing failed on first attempt, and locked up the whole opsys on second. What exactly the CNET editor was thinking I don't know.

Version: Compare PDF 2.1
"Flaky software with good interface."
Pros: Interface looks clean and simple to use.
Cons: Program crashes. Useless as it sits.

Version: Compare PDF 2.1
Pros: The User Interface looks nice but as described in the Cons I never actually got to compare PDF Files!
Cons: The program keeps crashing when I try to load a single PDF File! The first one I tried had about 300 pages so I thought okay ... maybe that's too big. The next one I tried had only 12 pages but several figures. This time it crashed as well after it took a long time to process or whatever it was doing. I was too frustrated to try a single page text-only PDF.
