What types of differences does it detect?

Detects: new text additions, deletion of existing text, word or sentence modifications. Does not detect formatting-only changes (like font change without text change).

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Can I compare more than two versions?

Does it support Arabic comparison?

Yes, comparison supports Arabic, English, and any other language as long as the file contains digital text.

Can I export the comparison report?

Yes, you can download the comparison report as a PDF file with color highlighting to keep as reference.
