What People Say
I use Draftable to double-check almost everything I send to clients. Comparisons makes it easy to see what my team has changed, without having to read the whole document again.
Draftable's also useful for giving feedback. Whenever I need to fix someone's work, I send them a comparison to show them what I changed. This helps my team produce documents that are closer to client-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
Functionality
What file formats can I compare?
PDF (.pdf), Word (.doc, .docx, .docm, .rtf), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx, .pptm), and Excel (.xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv) files can be compared.
How does comparing Excel spreadsheets work?
By default, changes in content that are visible when the spreadsheet is viewed or printed will be highlighted.

Can I compare different file formats with each other?
Yes, you can compare any two files, even if they have different formats.
What changes does Draftable show?
Draftable highlights all changes in the text, but not changes in formatting and images. Changes in graphics, fonts, text styling, table cell splits/merges, and so on, are not indicated. In practice, changes in formatting are easy to see in the side-by-side view.
