Compare Suite is a very simple program and you are unlikely to have any problems with it. As soon as you open relevant files Compare Suite will mark differences with colors. Thus, you will be able to see added, deleted and modified files and symbols.

Depending on compared files, you can choose one of the three comparison methods: char by char, word by word and comparison by keywords. If compared documents look pretty much alike you should use the first two methods.

When comparing two pdf files you might be interested only in the actual changes. So, you have an opportunity to ignore spaces and case. It is also possible to set own words of interest and words you want to ignore (they will not be included to comparison stats).

Commenting feature in Compare Suite may prove to be useful as well. You can leave comments to any line in the document, and this comment will be included to the report which you can then send to your colleagues with specific instructions.

As to the report itself, it is possible to choose its type and format (standard, advanced, changes only etc.)
