Compare Documents and PDFs for Changes and Accuracy

Advanced PDF and Document Comparison
Compare text-based PDF or Word documents against multiple modified versions or revisions within context of one another. Workshare Compare utilizes an industry - leading document comparison engine to excel at long and complex documents as well as comparing auto-numbered paragraphs, font changes and complicated formatting, even in tables.

Compare One Document to Multiple Versions
Compare more than two documents at one time including comparing Word-to-Word, PDF-to-PDF, and Word to text-based PDF.

Comparison of Embedded Excel Tables
You can accurately compare Microsoft Excel tables that are embedded in Microsoft Word documents.

Image Comparison
Workshare Compare's functionality includes the ability to compare images. After running a comparison you will see whether an image has been modified, deleted or inserted.

Compare PDF Documents
The differences between two versions of a text-based PDF document are automatically highlighted, including text and images, so you can quickly and easily identify what has changed.

Category View New
You can view changes by selected categories, such as matching changes, numbering changes, punctuation changes, spelling corrections, and style changes. You can also select specific categories of changes requiring immediate attention from other document reviewers.

Accurate Change Tracking
Accurately compare complex documents (100+ pages) at the paragraph, line, character and word level. The advanced document comparison engine also compares embedded tables, numbering, bullets, table of contents, lists, field codes, and complex formatting.

Comparison Speed
 Running a document comparison is 8x-10x faster than the original DeltaView comparison engine.

Multiple Comparison Interfaces
Compare email attachments directly from your email application, utilize the standalone document comparison tool from the desktop without launching Microsoft Word, or work within Microsoft Word to compare documents without having to learn a new software application.

Save Your Comparison
Save the comparison as a Workshare Compare DeltaFile (.WDF), which contains all three documents (original, modified and Redline). You can also save just the Redline document as a DOC/DOCX, RTF, HTML, TXT or PDF file.

Synchronized 3-Pane View
A synchronized 3-pane view allows you to view changes from multiple documents at the same time.

Document Redlining Made Simple
Implement changes shown in the redline document using Microsoft Word Track Changes, email redlines with all changes converted to Microsoft Track Changes, or save redlines as a PDF document. You can also customize and control rendering sets to identify who made what changes during a document review.

Automatic Alert and Compare of Modified
Attachments New
Automatically detect and compare changes when attachments are sent, modified, and returned. Workshare will also automatically identify if a document that has been returned has been changed, directly in Outlook, and then you can launch a comparison directly from Microsoft Outlook.

Integrated With Microsoft Outlook
When you receive an email with a DOC, DOCX or RTF attachment, the "Compare Attachment with Workshare" button is conveniently displayed at the bottom of the email.

Unicode Compliance
Complete support for Unicode language documents and operating systems.

Secure, Open XML Document Exchange
Interoperability and compatibility between Office 2010 and previous Office version file formats ensure business continuity and reduced support regardless of the file format version used and exchanged.
