.net - Is it possible to directly access Acrobat Pro's "Compare Files" tool from an external .NET app?

Question

Acrobat Pro has a pretty robust "Compare Files" tool that allows comparing files (in particular, PDFs) visually, side-by-side, almost like the diff tools found in a bunch of IDEs for code.

Anyway, I have this old Windows Forms app that generates PDF-formatted reports. My would like our app to be able to do the same kind of visual comparison, but since they all already have Acrobat licenses, it seems silly/time-consuming to reinvent that wheel.

However, I would still like to improve their QOL a little by allowing them to select the report versions they want to compare from within our app, then hit a button (or some such) that will open Acrobat and toss the selected files straight into the compare tool.

Is this possible?

I looked all around the Acrobat SDK documentation and didn't find anything, but it also looked like those docs were written in 2015... this latest compare tool seems newer than that, so I figured maybe there's a way that's just not well-documented yet?

Anyway, thanks for reading.

您无法通过 Acrobat API 访问比较工具。比较工具是作为 Acrobat 的插件开发的，不公开其界面。
