InDesign Document Comparison

Save this one for later!! This was found in an InDesign Secrets enewsletter.

Compare Two Layouts
You have two InDesign layout files that look identical, but you suspect they're not. Short of going through every page with a fine-toothed comb, how can you find the differences?

Simple: Export each layout to PDF with a unique name and then use the Document > Compare feature in Acrobat Pro 8 or 9. It can churn through even the longest layout files in a minute or so and present you with a page-by-page breakdown of where formatting, position, and/or text changes occur in the two PDFs you selected.
