With PrizmDoc v13.0, Accusoft is offering the process of cross-checking new versions of a Microsoft Word document against previous versions for various changes. These changes could include formatting modifications such as font or spacing changes, grammatical changes, or the addition or omission of words, sentences, clauses or paragraphs.
In order to compare Microsoft Word documents, you need to upload the original document used in a comparison viewing session as well as the revised document used in a comparison viewing session. Then start the viewing session to trigger the comparison process and initiate the view of the differences. This will trigger the comparison process and initiate the view of the differences. Once the viewing session is initiated, you can start issuing API requests for obtaining revision data from a viewing session that compares documents.
The Microsoft Word document comparison feature uses the Microsoft Office Conversion (MSO) add-on option for PrizmDoc Server running on Windows and provides connectivity for PrizmDoc Server running on Linux. Therefore, this functionality is triggered by the license key that includes the MSO feature. The MSO feature can be purchased in addition to your standard PrizmDoc Server license. Currently, Microsoft Word .DOC and .DOCX are the only formats supported for comparison. A future version of the product may allow you to compare other formats.
The Microsoft Word document comparison feature utilizes Microsoft Office rendering capabilities and therefore requires the components listed in the Windows Requirements section to be available on the system. Please follow all the required Windows Installation steps to let the PrizmDoc Server installer successfully pre-configure the system. When running on a non-pre-configured system, PrizmDoc Server installer for Windows will determine the required registry configuration settings specific to you server characteristics, make those changes in the registry, and require a system reboot.
