Read PDF files using this.

Basically, write the code to open the two PDFs you want to compare and compare the contents using PDF box.

Why automate?  I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy.  Sleep is a requirement.  So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.

Robert,

 

Thanks for the link.

we are using VB script in test complete. the PDF box needs Java. Can we still implement this?

PDF Box requires the java bridges and links but that is only for integration.  You can write the actual implementation code in VBSCript.  Adapt the JavaScript from that page to VBScript.
