    Unfortunately it's not possible to update the Python version that comes with TestComplete. The only option is to update TestComplete. The latest version comes with Python v3.8.10.

     

    Note, when you import certain Python packages, they may not work with the Python that comes with TestComplete. See Python - Specifics of Usage

You could install the latest version of Python and PyPDF2. Write a little Python script which accepts two parameters for the two PDF files, compares the documents, and output the results. Using TestComplete, use WshShell Object to call the Python script and read the output results.

 

Reading the output results, see the coding shown in Running PowerShell Scripts From TestComplete

    So , you mean to say I should separately validate the pdf in latest version of python

    and use that result in the testcomplete for reading the result
