PDF Modules
The folder TBox XEngines->Pdf in the Standard subset contains a Module that performs specific tasks for the PDF Engine 3.0.
1:1 Compare
The Module 1:1 Compare allows you to compare two PDF files.
The PDF Engine 3.0 performs a visual comparison between the two files.
-
If the similarity between the two files is above a certain percentage, the TestCase passes.
-
If the similarity between the two files is below the expected value, the TestCase fails.
The Module has the following ModuleAttributes:
|

|
In this example, you compare the file base.pdf to the file target.pdf. You specify the password for each file. You expect that the files should be at least 90 percent similar. You exclude page 2 and pages 5 to 8 from the comparison.
Compare two PDF files The comparison result shows that the files don't have the minimum similarity that you have specified. Consequently, your TestCase fails.
