Comparison of PDF to Scan with d'accord Scan using the example of a technical manual

With d’accord Scan, you can check your printed products against the ready-to-print PDF. The digital print inspection shows you all differences between scan and PDF – as a side-by-side comparison of the two versions and with a navigable list of differences.

The areas of application of d’accord Scan M include multi-page brochures, manuals, technical documentation, catalogs and commercials, which you can digitize with a feed scanner (e.g. DIN A4) or a flatbed scanner (e.g. DIN A3).

With the version d’accord Scan XL, you can check the entire print sheet against the imposed PDF using a large-format scanner (e.g. DIN A0).

d’accord Scan is available as 64-bit version for Mac OS X and Windows. Both versions are based on the proven Adobe® PDF Library™. Try d’accord Scan now: free trial version at https://www.csci.de/en/daccord-scan/trial.
