Accela has been within a worldwide distribution agreement to license DocuFi image comparison tools since 2011. Accela, serving Government sectors, is a solution provider focused on integrating government agency data with end-user needs, contracted with DocuFi to create an integrated version of the ComPara viewer. Users can select drawings from within the Accela repository and quickly launch a comparison session.
The ComPara viewer was designed specifically to handle larger size PDF drawing sets, often reaching 50MB or larger. With synchronized page comparisons, users can step through document pages in unison and look for differences using the graphical overlay and side-by-side comparison modes.
Another valuable capability used by Accela customers, is the PDF publishing capability. Differences between any page pairs can be stored in easy to navigate thumbnail bubble bar views, making reference and display fast and time saving. All tagged difference views can then be sabed to a new PDF document.
