Is there a free PDF Compare Utiity to compare two pdf files? Is there any way to do this in the Adobe Reader? I'd like the two pdf files to be displayed side by side, the differences highlighted and be able to scroll or jump to the next diff. I believe the Adobe Writer has this and includes edit/merge/save options. I do not need this extra functionality (and cost), I only want to view the differences. I've found a few freebie comparison tools on the net. The ones I've tried appear to convert the pdf file to text and perform a text comparison which is not very good. I'd like to compare the pdf content directly. I'd also consider a low cost utility if there are no freebies. thanks.
