They're keeping the technology close to the vest on this one (I did not help in any way with the video or PDF products) but they claimed to use their text matching to get an idea of files to scan further and then use the file matching technology to find more exact matches.Does that help?

We have been crawling, indexing and comparing PDF documents for some time. This is hardly new technology, unless of course, Attributor is using an OCR scan in real time to compare unlike PDF documents. Can you shed light on whether this is unique or simply a press release? I want to enlighten our development team if they have overlooked a new opportunity. Hi Jonathan. We have been crawling, indexing and comparing PDF documents for some time.
