File Comparison Fails

Aspose.Words Java 19.2 Evaluation Version (on OSX)

  1. Use Aspose to create document and write to file.
  2. Use file system to rename the newly created document
  3. Use the same code to create the document again as in step (1)
  4. Read both files from disk into different Document objects and compare them using Document.compare
  5. There are two revisions (an insertion and a deletion) in the comparison. It appears that the text “Shape X.X.X.X” (where X are various integer values) is being deleted and inserted suggesting it is different in the two documents although the feature names are obfuscated in the debugger so I can’t tell for sure.

Are these differences cause by the evaluation watermarks?
