PDF Testing

There may be scenarios where you need to download a PDF document and edit/assert the text it contains to test. It can be quickly done in Provar using the Download interaction for links, which downloads the link’s destination in a value and parses/asserts it.

Download and Assert PDF Testing

---

Specify the following parameters:

• Result Name: Stores the content of the downloaded document
• Result Scope: Select the scope of the result
• Result Format: Indicates how Provar should do the content

The content of the document/PDF can be processed or tested in three ways.

Parsed PDF

---

The content will be parsed by Provar, allowing the value to be updated using Replace test step. The text content of word/PDF documents is made available for assertion while testing.

Above: View the document’s content that will be stored in OldContents->contentText.

Use MatchAPI to Assert Text

Text

---

The content is parsed similarly to the above but stored as a simple text value. The value cannot be updated and re-uploaded. Text content is available for only assertion.

Raw

---

The content will just be available as raw data. The value cannot be updated and re-uploaded.
