The Summary Report is a Word document in two parts:
• The first part is the compared file content, annotated as requested in the Report Type field on the pdfDocs compareDocs window.
If the Consolidated report with track changes choice is selected in the Report Type field: When the comparison runs, the Summary report begins with combined content changes tracked, using the Word tracking feature.
Note: As the tracked changes Summary Report opens, you see the standard Windows reviewing pane open on the left side, with the tracked document on the right. If you close that left-side pane, it can be re-opened at any time by selecting Reviewing pane in the Review > Tracking toolbar (Word 7.0 or Vista version).
Here is a sample tracked changes report. To see detail on tracked changes, just roll the mouse over a highlighted item. Word shows a short message describing the change:
If the Consolidated report with formatting choice had been selected in the Report Type field, the Summary Report begins with combined content changes highlighted. Here is a sample formatted changes report.
• The Summary Report concludes with a set of tables summarizing file to file changes. Here are sample summary tables.
The Detail Report presents changes found in the comparison in list form, outside the context of the original file content. Instead of formatted or tracked content, you see just a list of changes, detailing what changed and where. Here is a sample Detail Report.
The Changes Only Report is a PDF version of the marked-up, or tracked consolidated content portion of the Summary Report. This report omits summary tables.
Note: If you had selected the Consolidated report with track changes choice in the Report Type field, the left-side review pane seen in the Word version of this report is not available in this PDF version of the tracked file.
