DocDiff 1.6 New Features: CDP Communications is delighted to share the latest developments and new features for its automated document comparison software, DocDiff version 1.6.
“The latest enhancement for DocDiff marks a significant milestone with the introduction of an advanced association algorithm and expanded support for Microsoft Word documents.

DocDiff:
Most print stream comparison tools can only catch minor documents alterations. However, when you venture into significant document transformations such as switching media types or adopting a different composition tool, these conventional tools may fall short. This is where DocDiff steps in as a game-changer.
Understanding the Flow: DocDiff is engineered to delve deep into your documents, mapping the flow from one paragraph to another in the original and comparing it meticulously with the flow in the new rendition. It’s not just about spotting changes; it’s about understanding how the document’s narrative flows.
Paragraph and Cell-Level Accuracy: Beyond flow, DocDiff ensures that the content within each paragraph and table cell remains intact. It meticulously analyzes everything, ensuring it preserves even the tiniest detail.
Change Detection with Precision: If DocDiff detects any differences, it doesn’t just stop there. It goes a step further, presenting you with a comprehensive breakdown of each identified change.
Seamless Composition Tool Transition: DocDiff is a groundbreaking leap in print stream comparison. Its unique ability to detect variations spanning page and paragraph boundaries empowers you to switch composition tools with confidence. You can trust that it only makes the changes you intend.
User-Friendly: Much like its companion product, STREAMdiff, DocDiff is designed with users in mind. It eliminates the need for complex conditional scripting to describe changes. Instead, it offers an intuitive visual interface with drag-and-drop functionality, making it a breeze to define expected alterations.
When precision and control over document changes are paramount, DocDiff stands as the premier solution, ensuring that every transformation aligns with your expectations. Say goodbye to uncertainty and hello to confident document management with DocDiff.
