I doubt they would help me because their tool does work with some PDFs (based on various forums, it seems that they've had issues with this tool for a long time and new versions do not solve anything). I was wondering if there was anything I could do to make it work for my PDFs. My other option is to compare the PDFs with a tool other than Acrobat.</span> <br><br>Best regards,<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#5F5F5F'><br><b><br>Annette-consultant Bouillin</b> <br>IFU project lead for ONG - Assystem consultant <br><br>FRESENIUS VIAL SAS <br>Société par Actions Simplifiée <br>au capital de 15 344 534,75 euros <br>RCS Grenoble B 408 720 282 <br><br>Le Grand Chemin <br>38590 Brézins - France <br>T : +33 4 76 67 57 04 <br>F : +33 4 76 67 11 34 </span><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:blue'><br></span></u><a href="mailto:annette-consultant.bouillin@fresenius-kabi.com"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>annette-consultant.bouillin@fresenius-kabi.com</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#5F5F5F'> </span><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:blue'><br></span></u><a href="http://www.fresenius-kabi.com/"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>www.fresenius-kabi.com</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#5F5F5F'> </span><br><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#5F5F5F'><br>Ce message est à la seule attention du (ou des) destinataire(s) attitré(s).
