• Differing object positioning
• Object content differences such as text or different barcodes
• Varying attributes of the same object type including fonts or font attributes such as font size applied to the same textual content.

Before making the comparison, the two documents are converted to the Unicode- based meta format, so that even for the case where another Codepage has been used, only actual text differences are registered.

In addition to making a comparison of the presentation of objects between two documents, DocBridge Delta can also perform the following checks:

• Binary compare of two document files
• Checking the difference in size with an optional pre-selected minimum value in bits or pixels (only size differences above a specific value are taken into account)
• Comparison of the number of pages and page orientation
• Comparison based on positioning tolerance (only positioning tolerances above a specific value are taken into account
• The exclusion of selected page areas during the comparison, e.g. for areas of dynamic content such as address fields or dates
• Meta information differences such as varying indexes within TLE’s in an AFP document or XMP information in PDF documents

Attached to all these messages is a return code allowing document comparisons to be evaluated automatically by a program.
