I using developer edition for testing the ASP website. Having problem testing the reporting data opening in PDF format in browser. WebUI test studio could not able to find the controls and data in the browser pdf file. Does the Developer version of WebUI support the PDF file testing?
Appreciate for your time.

Hi raj palem,
Thank you for evaluating WebUI Test Studio. I hope you are finding it useful. Unfortunately at this time the tool cannot work with PDF files and their internal elements. It only works with HTML web pages and Silverlight applications. The closest we can come to automating PDF's is to blindly simulate mouse clicks on specific points relative to a corner of the PDF outer container.

This post is for Boyan. He found a great solution to this issue, but unfortunately our paths separated before he could post a reply. So I am here to post what Boyan found. Thank you Boyan, wherever you are:
Hi guys,
After further researching I have found a very simple solution on how to read a pdf file in code.
1. Download iTextShart from here. It is a free .NET PDF library.
2. Add itextsharp.dll to Test Studio from \itextsharp-all-5.5.8\itextsharp-dll-core folder. Note that before adding you should unblock the dll (right click -> properties -> unblock).
3. Use that code for reading a pdf file:
Dim fileName As String = "folder\\pdfFileName.pdf"
Dim text As New StringBuilder()
If File.Exists(fileName) Then
Dim pdfReader As New PdfReader(fileName)
For page As Integer = 1 To pdfReader.NumberOfPages
Dim strategy As ITextExtractionStrategy = New SimpleTextExtractionStrategy()
Dim currentText As String = PdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(pdfReader, page, strategy)
currentText = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ASCIIEncoding.Convert(Encoding.[Default], Encoding.UTF8, Encoding.[Default].GetBytes(currentText)))
text.Append(currentText)
Log.WriteLine(text.ToString())
Next
pdfReader.Close()
End If
After executing the coded step the entire text of the pdf file will be stored into “text” string variable and will be logged into the execution log of the test.

sorry the 2 links dropped out:
Download iTextShart from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/files/?source=navbar
and
Add itextsharp.dll: http://docs.telerik.com/teststudio/features/coded-steps/add-assembly-reference
