I'm assuming that you need to do this during development on your workstation, rather than during delivery on your server... is this assumption correct? If so, then the full version of Adobe Acrobat offers a "Compare Pages" command... here's a description from the docs: "The Compare Pages command in Acrobat compares every page in two documents, looking at PDF information that describes the pages precisely to find even the most subtle differences between pages. You can use Compare Pages to identify both content changes between documents and changes that may not be visible." http://www.adobe.com/education/pdf/cib/acrobat5/acrobat5_cib_lesson5.pdf (page 128) This diagnostic tool isn't in the free Adobe Reader plugin for browsers, but is in the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional document development package: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/main.html http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/acro7_matrix.pdf Is this what you're looking for? or...? jd -- John Dowdell .
