I can compare text in two pdf files?

If it is possible to compare the text of two pdf files, let know how to do it.

I use Acrobat 8 Professional.

Thank you very much!!

If the two files are PDF text files (not images of text) and the two are not created by LiveCycle Designer, you can use it in the menu "Advanced => Compare Documents...". ».

  • How can copy text from a PDF file in the right order?

    I get texts translation of customers in PDF files. I need to copy some of the text of these files in Word, but the selection of Adobe jumps tool documents around, seemingly at random, sort of paragraphs and lines from different locations on a page are automatically selected together. The tables are particularly bad. If I try to copy an entire file, receives yet more random order. For example, all the titles of the document can be gathered in one place. I tried various PDF conversion software. They put all the PDF content in the areas of text, which is not suitable for my purposes. I want to just copy the PDF files in the exact order in which they appear on the page in text form that I can handle in Word. I'm now up to version 9.3.0 and there has been no improvement. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Hey, Marcoola.

    I agree that by copying and sticky from PDF to Word maunally are really difficult and tedious work. I have encounterd this problem before. Fortunately the problem can be solved perfectly now. I recommend AnyBizSoft PDF to Word Converter, which is totally free for months before. This conversion mode supports three app - batch, partial, right-click conversion and it even supports encrypted PDF conversion, previously you must have legal rights. And the conversion quality is superb, all the original text, page, images and hyperlinks will be preserved in an editable word document. It is more useful than those software online for free. It will be useful.

    I no longer seem to highlight and copy the text from a pdf file, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view PDF files.

    How do I activate the selection tool, so I can do this?

    If there is text to be copied (in other words, if the pdf file is not a scanned image of the text), by default, you should see a pointer that will change when you hover over the text to an ibeam.

    If you see a hand tool, click on the double arrow towards the top right of the display screen to get a drop-down list and select "disable the hand tool.

    I'm trying to highlight objects and text in a pdf file converted from a cadd drawing but can't do either?

    It may be that the PDF file is simply a graph. The highlight tool works on the text, not graphics. You may need to use the marker or another graphic tool.

  • Can I combine the contents of two PDF files?

    Hello

    I want to merge two PDF files with the first pdf data.

    Please look in the photo below.

    This isn't just I wnt to merge two PDF files, but also I want to remove the white space of the high pdf.

    can do us. Please let me know if we can do it.

    Concerning

    Sunil Gupta

    You can merge two PDF using LiveCycle assemble files, but you will not be able to "sink" PDFs together unless they are both XFA forms. If this is the case, then you'd called 'formula couture' to add two models together, so the model that should be activated in a PDF file.

    Make sense?

  • Code to merge two PDF files of the scanned book: one of the odd pages and the other pages even.

    I'm looking for an effective way merge two PDF files: one with all the odd pages scanned a book, one with all even-numbered pages. This question has been posted several times in many different forums.  I am unable to get the Javascript code that is given in the following forum to work.  https://forums.adobe.com/thread/286654.  Generally, the responses to this question are not useful for me because 1) they provide instructions that apply to an older version of Adobe (I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC), or 2) they involve software purchase that I found to be ineffective. One post step by step to complete code that can do bonded labor and be registered as a custom through the command Wizard command (see the post from 11:27 January 13, 2016 to https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2063936, for an example of a good response to a different question) would be much appreciated.  Thank you, Carl

    You can use a large part of the script that was posted in the other thread and create a personalized out of it. In fact, it makes the script easier to understand, because all the "stuff" that is about adding menus and elevate the rights of scripts is no longer necessary.

    See here for instructions on how to create a custom in Acrobat DC command:

    Create orders customized in Adobe Acrobat DC Pro - KHKonsulting LLC

    Instead of the sample code of the blog post, you would use this (which is really just a copy & paste of the original script):

        // create an array to use as the rect parameter in the browse for field
    
        var arRect = new Array();
        arRect[0] = 0;
        arRect[1] = 0;
        arRect[2] = 0;
        arRect[3] = 0;
    
        // create a non-visible form field to use as a browse for field
        var f = this.addField("txtFilename", "text", this.numPages - 1, arRect);
    
        f.delay = true;
        f.fileSelect = true;
        f.delay = false;
    
        // user prompted to select file to collate the open document with
        app.alert("Select the PDF file to merge with")
    
        // open the browse for dialog
        f.browseForFileToSubmit();
        var evenDocPath = f.value;
    
        var q = this.numPages;
    
        var t = app.thermometer;
        t.duration = q;
        t.begin();
    
        // insert pages from selected document into open document
        for (var i = 0; i < q; i++) {
            var j = i * 2;
            this.insertPages(j, evenDocPath, i);
            t.value = i;
            t.text = 'Inserting page ' + (i + 1);
        }
        t.end();
    
        // remove unused field
        this.removeField("txtFilename");
    

    Given the instructions in my blog, you should be able to create this custom command and run it. To run it, the important part is that you load the 'weird' part of the document first, then launch the custom command and then select the item "same" document.

  • pdf creation of the SAME SIZE of two pdf files

    I'm probably not follow instructions very well, and I'm not finding an explanation in the documentation so I hope someone can help me here.

    I have two pdf files. one is a cover of a magazine page, and the other is a page within the magazine where my work is mentioned. I want to combine these two PDF in a SINGLE pdf, but in a way that both the pdf is the same size. I feel like I am missing a setting somewhere for it as whenever I do this inside page is printed on the pdf document to half the size of the cover page.

    I tried to save out in png and making sure they are the same size and resolution, but it prints (except Preview) with white around the borders.

    I tried recording outside in optimized PDF and affecting the sizes 8 x 11 and 72 dpi but this then prints out Acrobat as a very pixelated in the document that are not readable.

    can someone help me with a step by step on how this can be done? It seems that I should just be able to open two random pdf files in the menu CREATE and then tell Acrobat to print to a specified size (this would be easy!), but I must be missing something.

    TIA

    Hotwheels 222,

    It might help to think that PDF is a container that can have many things such as texts, photos, graphics, vector elements, etc. all wrapped up in it.

    Normally, the content is created in another application such as InDesign, Illustrator, MS Word or many other applications. In the application you create a blank document and add or place images, type text in any font you want to place or create some elements of vector (if the application has actually vector tools)and even other multimedia such as audio and video as long as the application supports,

    Photos can all have a different resolution, vector elements have no resolution (I'll explain), the text can be in many different fonts, and they all keep their distinct characteristics within the PDF file.

    A PDF file created from an application like Photoshop will be just a resolution, because the PS is a pixel in the image editor and a PS document can have only one resolution.

    .. .the idea that two adobe products cannot communicate Acrobat to photoshop in terms of a resolution of pdf in photoshop seems very awkward... Once again, as a PDF file may have a lot of pictures with different resolutions, even if the PS could get this info (which may not) what PS resolution would decide to use? PS sheets it is up to the user to decide based on what they want their final production can be.

    You mention a document you have this "seems no inserted images" and "it appears as if there is an image"?

    The pdf of the cover are you referring?  The PDF producer is "Adobe Acrobat Image Conversion plug-in 10.0" is a tip out of 'Test Name screen' and thought it came from Photoshop.

    While possible, this document was created entirely in Photoshop, it is also likely that it was created in another application such as InDesign, exported from here in PDF and then PDF etc. was opened in Photoshop that rasterizes the content and flattened into an image file with the resolution you have chosen when opening in PS and then saved as just an image in PDF format. The graphic designer who created this probably did this because they did not want to give you a print quality PDF that you can try to extract the elements of.

    You mentioned that you thought that the doc was in Adobe Illustrator (AI) HAVE is primarily a tool for creating vector allowing also to the pixel for inclusion based raster images (with a resolution of specific pixels) to be included in a document of AI if wanted.  Strictly speaking, vector objects do not have a resolution. They are based on mathematics,

    He said essentially, put a point to such & such X, coordinated, now, put an another punch to another X, Y coordinates, it takes account of the arc or angle between the two points and said to draw a straight line, or draw a curved line, etc. Since it is only the mathematical instructions. This can be as large as you want and the relationship between the 2 points and the arc of the curve or line will dictate how the extended line or curve will be redrawn enlarged.

    Vectors are 'independent of the resolution' you can draw a vector logo to 1 x 1 inches and enlarge it to 50 x 50 inches or even as important as a home and it will always print crisp and clean. Notice, that this applies only to vector content in your document; pixel content is blocked in the resolution, it was created in the.

    To inspect the elements in a PDF document using the object Inspector in Acrobat Pro. Since a PDF file can contain several different objects, you have to click exactly on each object to get information about the selected object. So if you had 10 photos in your PDF you must select each in turn and he would give you the size in pixels, resolution, color space and profile, etc if you have clicked on the text, it will identify the police. It is well named, an Inspector of the object rather than a Document Inspector. Try it yourself with the different PDF files that you may encounter. If for example, it gives you the exact same info (resolution, pixel dimensions etc.) bit matter when you click, then you're probably dealing with a simple image. If you get the dimension in different pixels, resolutions when you click in different areas, you're dealing with a PDF file that had separated the distinct elements.

    I don't see why I shouldn't be able to get a document that is located at 17.7 x 22.9 to 72 dpi up to one that is 8 x 11 at 300 ppi.

    In Photoshop, go to the Image, the Image Size menu. This will show the dimensions in pixels (width & height) at the top. If you don't interpolate (resample) Photoshop can only put the same number of pixels in different size documents. When you press it same number of pixels in a smaller resolution doc increases. When you place the same number of pixels in a larger doc and the resolution fails.

    Don't forget, that the resolution is PPI (Pixels Per Inch). If you do the math it starts to make sense.

    Below notes that each dialog box features the same EXACT pixel dimensions.

    In the first box, it shows the 1275 x 1650 pixels in a document of 17.708 22.917 x inches. This gives a resolution of 72 DPI.

    In the second box, I changed the size of the document to 8.5 x 11 inches and pixels of 1275 x 1650 even now increase the resolution to 150 DPI.

    In the third box, I changed the resolution to 300 DPI and the pixels of 1275 x 1650 even now decrease the size of the document to 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

        

    If you check the resampling, Photoshop will interpolate (resample) image to throw the pixels, or adding pixels, but there is no magic involved and the results are never as good as we could hope.

    Like Goldilocks and the 3 bears, some things are better when they are 'fair '.

  • How can I open 2 different pdf files and show them separately on 2 different monitors?

    How can I open 2 different pdf files and show them separately on 2 different monitors?

    Hi thomasr1953,

    You will need to uncheck 'Open documents as tabs... new' under ' Edit > Preferences > general "so that the two PDF files open in separate windows.

    Then, you can drag the second file to the second monitor.

  • Layout in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Export text from a PDF file

    I am exhibitor of long documents in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. The text was provided in PDF format when I copy and paste this in Indesign, it happens like question marks, boxes and other characters having nothing to do with the text I'm trying to layout.  I put the cast on the Arabic Myriad and Arabic dictionary still nothing that resembles Arabic or any other language. Same thing with the Chinese and Russian. Any suggestions on how to get the text from the PDF file where is the language. Appreciate help with this.  Thank you.

    Thus, KK: you're in for a world of pain. The intials "WP" at the beginning of these policies means that the text is out of WordPerfect. Make presentations multilingual in WP, it was annoying, but possible. It was developed in the pre-Unicode world where every single method of complex script layout was a dirty hack. If you like dirty nerdy details, I can tell you how it worked, but that it is sufficient to say that attempt to harvest the non-latine-script text of: WP and it reuse for use in InDesign is just pure pain. WordPerfect-specific code pages were never really supported anywhere outside WP.

    That being said, I have a script around laying somewhere for the conversion of the WP-Cyrillic in Unicode. (In fact, I think it does Windows CP 1251, but that works as well.) But this is only one of the forty-five languages? And the Chinese has been pixelated? And PDF files were originally generated by Distiller 3? If you have no choice, it is time to leave. If you do not have the choice, I really hope that you charge hourly. My experience in this area (very large) is that it will cost three to five times more to extract the text as it would for a professional translation generate a new key of the text, and and then to have a second professional translation review text rekeyed looking for typos.

    Russian OCR is darn good these days, but Chinese OCR is random. I've never seen good Arabic OCR - doesn't mean it's not out there, but I couldn't help you find it.  But the chances that all 45 languages available reliable OCR, and the result of said OCRing will not have to be reviewed by someone who knows the language, are virtually nil.
