Move the slider all the way to the left to view 50% transparency, or all the way to the right for 0% transparency (no overlay).

In Side-by-side mode, center the slider to view the changes side by side, overlaid at 25% transparency. When the slider is centered, both documents display at 50% transparency. In the two overlay modes, move the slider to the left to reduce the transparency of the Compare document (additions), move the slider to the right to reduce the transparency of the Open document (deletions). This tool is available for Overlay, Overlay Differences, and Side-by-side modes to adjust the transparency amount of the two documents. Only areas that are present in both the compare version and open version are displayed in the color determined in Compare Settings. Only deleted areas (areas present in the open version, but not in the compare version) are displayed in the color determined in Compare Settings. Only added areas (areas present in the compare version, but not in the open version) are displayed in the color determined in Compare Settings. Measure, and Publish features are supported in this compare mode. The set alignment points for comparison tool is available in this mode. Only the file that was opened for compare is displayed (normal colors). All Annotate, Review, Redact, Measure, and Publish features are supported in this compare mode only. Only the file that was first opened is displayed (normal colors). Use the Text Comparison mode to view the (non WYSIWYG) text content comparison of the open and compare documents. While a graphical comparison is useful for viewing differences in CAD drawings (as overlaid images), this method has limitations when it comes to comparing the actual text contained in a document file. Move the slider to view transparent differences overlaid in each version. Use slider to change transparency for clearer visibility of the file differences - right to dim (deleted) areas, left to dim (added) areas.īoth versions are displayed in a split-screen view. Geometry/text that has not changed (common between both revisions) is color3. The open file displays in color1 (deleted geometry or text), and the compare file displays in color2 (added geometry or text). Colors are based on what is set in the Compare Settings dialog. With this button, the compare file version opens overlaid on the open file. Use the slider to change the transparency of each file - left to dim the compare version, right to dim the open version. Use this button to overlay both versions on top of each other. Note that while viewing in Compare mode, most of the functionality associated with Annotate, Review, Redact, Measure, and Publishing (except Save View as JPG) will not be available for use. Depending on the viewing option currently chosen, alignment buttons (nudge alignment, set alignment points, and clear align), and a transparency slider may be present. The toolbar contains various buttons for different viewing options. The Comparison toolbar appears at bottom of viewing window.

COMPARE FILES TOOL PDF
The Brava Office viewer lets you compare different document or drawing versions and files, even in different formats (for example, the original Microsoft Word document compared to a PDF rendition, or the original CAD drawing to a TIFF version). See the FileHold Viewer for the latest viewing technology. IMPORTANT: This document describes an optional FileHold feature that is no longer available.
