Acrobat has no API allowing programmatic comparison and automatic
result reporting of PDF files. There is no API to the document compare
in the user interface.

However, Acrobat plug-ins have full access to page contents, and an
experienced plug-in programmer entirely familiar with the PDF
Reference could work on a comparison plug-in.

You should understand (a) that the Acrobat SDK is just a collection of
documentation, it does not provide any API and (b) almost all of the
described API is for Acrobat, NOT the free Reader. Think of it as a
tool for selling more copies of Acrobat and (c) Acrobat is NOT for
server use and is not great for automated use of any kind.
