Annette:
Perhaps give us a little background on what you are looking to do and possibly there are other (even better) solutions.
For example, on a recent project another company was looking for identifying differences between minor composition runs of RenderX.
We implemented a compare not of the PDFs, but of the XEP Intermediate XML format that produces the PDF. This is a much more rich comparison, not relying on a tool to attempt to interpret a final form document.
Now, I am not sure you are comparing XEP PDF to XEP PDF or ?

Subject: [xep-support] Re: PDF comparison with Acrobat fails with PDFs generated with XEP
I got your point Kevin. I doubt they would help me because their tool does work with some PDFs (based on various forums, it seems that they've had issues with this tool for a long time and new versions do not solve anything). I was wondering if there was anything I could do to make it work for my PDFs. My other option is to compare the PDFs with a tool other than Acrobat.

IMHO you asking the wrong company a question. You should ask Adobe why their tool fails on comparing PDFs as that is supposedly what the tool does.

Hello XEP community,
I'm using XEP to generate PDF output from DITA source files. When comparing two PDF files generated with XEP in Adobe Acrobat Pro, the comparison fails. When comparing two files generated with Framemaker, the comparison runs Ok. Is there anything in XEP that I could modify to make sure we can compare PDFs? I'm using XEP (via Oxygen) with the default settings so far.
Thanks!
