Hi Team,

I got temporary license for PDF comparison for .Net framework and able to compare simple pdf (with only text) files.
However, trying to compare complex pdf (with tables, header/footer and other elements), i am not getting any error neither any output. the code hags up on Compare method.

Could you please check and provide me any solution ?

Thanks in advance !!!

After a detailed investigation on COMPARISONNET-2456, we came to know that the content (looks like a table in the provided PDF) is not a table, it’s a paragraph that looks like a table. And API absorbs those “tables” as TextLines and compares them as paragraphs and parse without tabular format. Attached is the expected result.pdf (168.9 KB) that we could achieve in upcoming release of the API.
