Are Form Field Values Compared? #12

Closed rpigneri-vol closed 2 years ago

rpigneri-vol commented 3 years ago

Dear compare-pdf team,

We are looking for a PDF comparator, and compare-pdf seems really nice. However, I'm having trouble getting it to consistently evaluate PDF files with fillable fields. Does compare-pdf compare form values as well, or just the static contents of the PDF?

Thank you!

hi mate, compare-pdf converts each page into an image and then compare it to the baseline / reference. that means we do not compare by value but instead by image (pixel comparison)
