Business Challenge
With less time and fewer resources to manage document QA, it is critical to ensure that document quality and content are not affected when migrating to new composition tools or print platforms or when implementing new content or brand updates.
Ensuring error-free customer communications that won’t cause downstream issues can be challenging. Dynamic formatting and personalization can lead to millions of unique documents, making it hard to catch errors that may seem small but can consume valuable time and resources to resolve. Furthermore, the growing number of tools and platforms requiring testing can lead to tedious and time-consuming quality assurance (QA) checks. By employing an efficient document comparison tool, errors can be identified and addressed upfront, thereby reducing the risk of potential downstream consequences

Product Details
Visualize Difference and Streamline Testing
PRO Quick Compare reads two data files of the same or different format, compares them in a selected mode – object, pixel or text – and outputs a side by side visual of all the pages with color coded highlights for easy recognition of detected differences. With the ability to plug into an existing workflow, this easy-to-use solution is ideal for initial application, regression or migration testing as well as verification for outsourcing/insourcing.
Comparison modes analyze and detect changes for fast, easy visual identification:
- Object comparison mode detects changes in placements, fonts, data and internal structures
- Pixel comparison mode detects changes in placement, registration and fidelity
- Text comparison mode detects changes in changed text.
- Easily compare documents or files of the same or different format, such as AFP to AFP or AFP to PDF
- Accurate comparison for all pages including inserted or deleted pages
- Streamline QA testing with flexible comparison parameters for users to set specific areas of the page to compare or ignore
- Batch processing supports multiple data stream comparisons without user intervention

There are a variety of challenges that can result in the need to hold or remove documents from the print stream, including:
- Remove reports and test pages from mainframe output
- Remove documents with incorrect addresses
- Remove pages with unexpected artifacts or electronically created errors
- Hold documents requiring additional approval
- Hold communications that have been requested electronically
- Hold reports waiting to be reviewed to determine if printing is necessary
