Acrobat/Reader - Synchronized Scrolling Two (Or More) PDF Documents

Comparing PDF documents side by side is a common DTP task in Acrobat or Reader, but the problem is you can't scroll two documents at the same time, so keeping them aligned can be difficult and time consuming. That is the reason I've developed this new script which allows you to keep your documents in perfect alignment while you review them.

Update (11/01/2017): A FREE demo version of this tool is now available here.
It can be used to test it out, but it only contains the "Scroll Down" command.

Another New Feature: You can now easily align the viewing position of all the open files with the active one.

New Feature:
 The tool can now scroll any number of open files, not just two, as requested.

Comparing PDF documents side by side is a common DTP task in Acrobat or Reader, but the problem is you can't scroll two documents at the same time, so keeping them aligned can be difficult and time consuming.
That is the reason I've developed this new script which allows you to keep your documents in perfect alignment while you review them.

You can select the scrolling offset (in points) and then scroll both documents up, down, to the left, to the right, or skip pages forwards or backwards, all in perfect sync.

The windows themselves can be arranged at whatever configuration you find most comfortable, and can even be placed on different monitors.

IMPORTANT: This script does not allow you to synchronize the scrolling of the files using the mouse or the keyboard arrows directly. It only works through the buttons that it adds to the interface of the application.

After installing the script, the new scrolling options are available under a new sub-menu under the Window menu, as well as under the Tools menu (or toolbar, for easy access):

And after using the Scroll Down option, the documents have simultaneously scrolled and now look like this:

I've been working with Gilad for almost 7 years on an evolving project that relies on lengthy complicated scripts. The turnaround times, pricing and accuracy are excellent. His depth of knowledge has been extremely helpful in helping define issues and offering options to accomplish the tasks. The add on scripts have been essential to maintaining and updating our existing documents as well. I highly recommend his services and products.

We first started working with Gilad back in 2015. I found him online in looking through different forum sites and realized he is an expert in Adobe and creating java scripts. I started with a small project and quickly realized he was an asset to have as a resource! Gilad has completed over 50 different projects for me. Each project has been completed on-time and he has been extremely easy to communicate with and his coding has always been accurate! I highly recommend Gilad and his team!

Gilad exceeded my expectations with nine different projects in which I sought his developer expertise.  He looks at your concept and suggests ways to make it more efficient.   Gilad sees additions or modifications you never considered and which ultimately prove invaluable.  If your concept has shortcomings, Gilad takes the time to explain them and then work with you to correct or replace them.  I wholeheartedly and unequivocally endorse Gilad as an expert developer.
