Reading PDF documents

Hi tsan123,

try using double backslashes like this

docObj = JavaClasses.org_apache_pdfbox_pdmodel.PDDocument.load_3("C:\\Users\\Downloads\\Test.pdf")

instead single ones

docObj = JavaClasses.org_apache_pdfbox_pdmodel.PDDocument.load_3("C:\Users\Downloads\Test.pdf")　

if you have correctly add the dll in the CLR, did you unblock them (windows - files properties) ? you have to do that file per file

• Read pdf to verify a report in test complete.
• You have to import pdfbox.dll

1. Read report pdf data and validate any string to verify a test functionality.

function verifyPDFTextValue(){

 var status  = verifyPDFText("50 plus_ element");

 return status;

}

function readPDFData(strReportFilePath)

{

  var filePath =  callPDF();

  var doc = dotNET.org_apache_pdfbox_pdmodel.PDDocument.load(filePath);

  var pdfStripper = dotNET.org_apache_pdfbox_util.PDFTextStripper.zctor_2();

  var str = pdfStripper.getText_2(doc);

  Log.Message("See Additional Info", str);

  doc["close"]();

  return str;

}

function verifyPDFText( strTextToVerify ){

var status ;

var pdfFileFullPath = callPDF();

var pdfText = readPDFData(pdfFileFullPath);

  if(pdfText.Contains(strTextToVerify)){

    Log["Message"]("Verification successful. Text in PDF file is equal!");

    status = "Success";

    }   

  else {

    Log["Error"]("Text in PDF file is different from the parameter passed!");

    status = "Failure";

    }

    return status;

}

// We should call last modified file in place of below method in a dynamic environment.

function callPDF(){

  var sPath = "../IrisProject/TestData/TestDataPDF/TestPDF.pdf"

  var sExpPath = aqFileSystem["ExpandFileName"](sPath);

  var fileName = aqFileSystem["GetFileNameWithoutExtension"](sExpPath);

  // Posts the file name and extension to the test log

  Log["Message"]("The file name is " + fileName);

  Files["TestPDF"]["Check"](fileName); 

  Log.Message(sExpPath);

  return sExpPath;

}

• For any means the report or pdf file path/name is dynamic then below method will help to get the latest file in a folder. pass that path to readPDFData function insted of calling  function callPDF(). 

function getLastModifiedFileName(){

 var status ;

 Delay(5000);

 var reportsPath = CreateReportFolder();

 Delay(5000);

 var fileToSearch = FindLastModifiedFileInFolder(reportsPath, ".*");

  Log["Message"](fileToSearch);

  if(fileToSearch != null)

  {

    Log["Message"]("File found " + fileToSearch);

    status = "Success";

  }

  else

  {

      Log["Error"]("File not found!");

      status = "Failure";

  }

 return status;

}

//This method Creates report folder under project root folder, if report folder does not exists , ignores otherwise.

function CreateReportFolder()

{

   var reportsFolderRelativePath = "../IrisProject/PTPReports";

   var reportsFolderFullPath = aqFileSystem["ExpandFileName"](reportsFolderRelativePath);

   if(!aqFileSystem["Exists"](reportsFolderFullPath))

   {

      reportsFolderFullPath = aqFileSystem["CreateFolder"](reportsFolderFullPath);

   }

  return reportsFolderFullPath;

}

function FindLastModifiedFileInFolder(FolderPath,FileNameContains)

 {

  var FolderObject = aqFileSystem.GetFolderInfo(FolderPath); //The folder to look in

  var FileItems = FolderObject.Files     //Collection of all the files in the folder

  var FileDateModified = new Array();  //Array of all the relevant date modified info for the files

  var FileNumber = new Array();     //The absolute index number for the files sorted

  var LatestFileNumber;             //The index to the latest file modified

  var NewestTime;                   //Placeholder for the Newest time when searching

  //Builds up the arrays with the filnames containing FileNameContains reg exp

  for (var i=0; i < FileItems.Count; i++)

  {

    if(FileItems.Item(i).Name.search(FileNameContains) > -1)

    {

      FileNumber.push(i);

      FileDateModified.push(FileItems.Item(i).DateLastModified);

    }        

  }

  //Finds the most resent modified file

  NewestTime = FileDateModified[0];

  Log["Message"](NewestTime);

  LatestFileNumber = FileNumber[0];

  Log["Message"](FileDateModified);

  for (var i=0; i < FileNumber.length; i++)

  {    

    if(aqDateTime["Compare"](NewestTime, FileDateModified[i]) < 0)

    {

      NewestTime = FileDateModified;

      LatestFileNumber = FileNumber;

    } 

  }

  return FileItems.Item(LatestFileNumber).Path;  

}
