HI
I am unable to compare 2 PDF's created by our Exstream PDF generator engine. These files are normally accessible through Adobe. When I try to open using Compare Suit then it gives me an error as
"Error Converting file "
Error Message : TProgressBar propoerty out of Range "

Can u please why this is caused?

My experience shows that the problem most likely is with PDF file you
are trying to compare.

In fact, the problem is with PDF authoring tool that author of this
PDF used to create this PDF. It's probably doesn't support Adobe
specification correctly.

We have no any bug fix for this problem now because of it's hard to
convert PDF that doesn't meet specification to text.

The only thing I can suggest now is to subscribe to our newsletter
(see newsletter banner on www.comparesuite.com) to stay in contact
with us and know if we have something to suggest to solve this
problem.

We face a lot of problems in our company when trying to use some applications to manage PDF files. And the problem is probably with PDF formatting problems.

Compare Suite works well for most PDFs, but there are some authoring tools that makes PDF incorrect. Before starting using Compare Suite I've tried Diff Docs and some other tools -- all have problems with PDF files.

I'm using Compare Suite for my compare jobs and if I have problems with PDF then I do a manual converting of PDF to text first.

Have a good day!
