BC3 support encrypted pdf compare?

[dspak]

Is there any chance that BC can be updated to compare encrypted/protected pdf files? I see other tools that can do this but their compare functionality and UI is lousy compated to BC.

Thanks!

The PDF conversion we currently use does not support some of the encrypted or protected pdf files. If you have another utility that does, and it can be accessed on the command line, you could plug it into BC3 as a custom external conversion, and have it to the conversion process. For an example KB article, please see here:
