Santosh,

Please take sometime to read through this blog post that Mark Collins wrote up : http://ardesco.lazerycode.com/index.php/2012/07/how-to-download-files-with-selenium-and-why-you-shouldnt/

After that you would perhaps want to just use a library such as pdfbox to verify the contents

Thanks & Regards

Hi!

+1 to Krishan. Download the file separately and use a dedicated library to test PDF content. 

Let me recommend library "pdf-test" for this. It has a convenient API for testing PDF:

    PDF pdf = new PDF(new File("src/test/resources/50quickideas.pdf"));
    assertThat(pdf, containsText("50 Quick Ideas to Improve your User Stories"));

You are downloading the file to open it.

What you missed when you read the blog is that you do not need to open the file to check that it is correct, you just need to get an MD5/SHA1 hash of a known good file and compare it to the  MD5/SHA1 hash of the file you downloaded.  If they are the same the correct file was downloaded.  If they are different the file you downloaded is not what you thought it was.

You could write code to diff a PDF but is it really worth it, That's a lot of work for minimal benefit.  If you save the file that is incorrect you can manually verify the differences (if you care).

It is saved to your local drive.  It has been saved in a temp directory which is where another application is reading it from to be able to display it to you.

Clicking open really means:

* Save to my local drive in a temp folder.

* Open the PDF I have saved in the temp folder with the application my OS has associated with PDF files.

If you go back through that blog post it will tell you how to programatically save the file to disk and perform an SHA1/MD5 hash check on it to check that it is the correct file.

Hi Mark

Thanks for update.
