I am working on an application where I am writing some automation framework for testing a web application. I am using Watij / Watin for the framework, but have run into a problem with verifying the PDFs generated have the correct content.
I know I can use IText or a native PDF library to load up the PDF, but I am wondering if there is already an existing framework dedicated to testing PDF file content?
it's an interesting problem, but thankfully like most out there, there's someone who has done it before you.
Take a look at http://jpdfunit.sourceforge.net/references/jpdfunit_aShortIntroduction.pdf for information on a PDF testing framework called JPdfUnit.
The program homepage is at http://jpdfunit.sourceforge.net/.
Hope that helps!
