Document comparison
Remark: to compare PDF documents, you will obtain better results when converting them as DOCX before comparison. For this, the best
is certainly to use a dedicated software, including an OCR (for example, Abbyy or Nuance products). MS Office, in its latest versions, is a
quite good PDF to DOCX converter (without OCR).
Launch ComPair, you should get this blank window:

Click on the first two buttons to select the language for each of your documents to be compared:
Click/check the “OCR” button
if you want to enable the text extraction from images in scanned PDF documents (need the free
Tesseract OCR to be installed).
Click/uncheck the “Fast mode” button
if you want to compare large documents with important differences (several pages changed,
added, or removed).
