Q: How can I turn on / off the comparison mode in Qoppa’s PDF editing component jPDFEditor?
A: The code below will change the view of the PDFEditorBean to a new comparison view with both the current document and a second document in the specified mode.
Comparing 2 documents by overlaying them:
// load a second document to PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument("C:\\test.pdf"); // start compare overlay view pdfEditorBean.startCompare(doc, PDFEditorBean.MODE_COMPARE_OVERLAY, new CompareOverlayOptions()); |
Comparing 2 documents side by side:
// load a second document to PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument("C:\\test.pdf"); // start side by side comparison view pdfEditorBean.startCompare(doc, PDFEditorBean.MODE_SIDEBYSIDE, new CompareOverlayOptions()); |
// Stops overlay comparison mode pdfEditorBean.stopCompareOverlay(); |
// Stops side by side comparison mode pdfEditorbean.stopCompareSideBySide(); |
