    Can you get a text version of the document and save it in the same place as the pdf?  That way you can still make sure that the storage area is accessible to TC and you can compare a text file rather than a pdf.  It's not exactly the same test, but I'm guessing that you are more interested in the content of the document rather than the fact that it's stored as a pdf.

There aren't always Keyword Test options for everything.  That's why you can use Run Code Snippet or Run Script Routine inside a keyword test to extend the functionality.
