How to compare PDFs.
PDFelement's "Compare PDFs" feature allows you to easily identify and analyze the differences between two PDF documents.

- PDFelement will compare the two PDFs by displaying them side by side. Any differences between the two PDFs will be highlighted, including deletions, insertions, and modifications, each marked with a different color.
