Export - Comparison of AF versions through PDF
Since the functionality to compare different versions of the application form is not implemented directly in Jems, the PDF downloads of different application form versions can be used to compare the changes.
On the market and on the web, you can find different tools to compare files.
Probably easiest way is to
open each PDF,
copy the whole text (e.g. by pressing Ctrl + a),
paste it into an empty WORD document and
run the WORD comparison.
There are different types of software or add-ons that you can install on your computer allowing to compare PDF files. Some of the frequently used software to open PDFs, like Adobe Acrobat, offers such functionality. Also newer versions of Microsoft(R) Word offers a functionality to convert PDF to WORD and has a comparison function for different Word files
Comparison on the web: There are free of charge websites that offer comparison of PDF files. Please be aware that most online comparison tools require the upload of the PDF to the website of the service provider. Therefore, please consider the security and data protection requirements when using online tools for PDF comparison.
Most comparison tools work in a similar way: They highlight the parts in the PDF that were changed from one version to the other.
