Open Compare PDFsCompare opens two versions of a document next to each other and marks what changed between them. It is meant for the moment you receive a revised contract or report and need to know what is different without reading both again.
Open the older file on the left and the newer one on the right, then step through the marked changes. Treat the result as a pointer to where to look, and read each marked passage before you accept it.
