Testing with pdf files (AI driven testing)

[Lagencie]

Hello Community

we are about to test the functionality from the AI driven testing extension.

Sadly we came very fast to a rather unpleasant "bug/feature". We try to test a pdf that get generated from a webpage when clicking on a button with all the values (configs) from the webpage. Sadly when you validate for specific texts it only passes when the specified text in the pdf is actually visible.

Is there a way to find / check through the whole pdf file?

Or are there other ways to work with the AI plugin / any good documentations about it how to test pdf files

I don't think the sample and example on the referenced documentation work. IIRC the 

Loading PDF Documents section at the beginning does not work in docs or sample. I never did have time to finish following up. YMMV.

Thanks for the answer, we will try this out and I will be asking again if we can not get it to work - as this is the job for our colleague that is only part time here it might take a while until we actually can try it, but the link seems promising
