Example

using Leadtools.Document; 
using Leadtools.Document.Compare; 
using Leadtools; 
 
 
public void CompareDocumentExample() 
{ 
   var doc1 = DocumentFactory.LoadFromFile(pathToDocument1, new LoadDocumentOptions()); 
   var doc2 = DocumentFactory.LoadFromFile(pathToDocument2, new LoadDocumentOptions()); 
 
   var docList = new List<LEADDocument>() 
   { 
      doc1, 
      doc2 
   }; 
 
   var comparer = new DocumentComparer(); 
   var diffs = comparer.CompareDocument(docList); 
   Console.WriteLine($"Total number of differences: {diffs.Differences.Count}"); 
   Console.WriteLine($"Total number of insertions: {diffs.GetInsertions().Count}"); 
   Console.WriteLine($"Total number of deletions: {diffs.GetDeletions().Count}"); 
   foreach (PageCharactersDifference diff in diffs.Differences) 
   { 
      Console.WriteLine($"Operations: {diff.Operation}"); 
      Console.WriteLine($"Text: {diff.Text}"); 
      foreach (PageCharacter pageChar in diff.Characters) 
      { 
         Console.WriteLine($"    Character: {pageChar.Character}"); 
         Console.WriteLine($"    Character Index: {pageChar.CharacterIndex}"); 
         Console.WriteLine($"    Page Number: {pageChar.PageNumber}"); 
         Console.WriteLine($"    Wordmap Index: {pageChar.WordMapIndex}"); 
      } 
      Console.WriteLine("--------");
