This library provides a number of PDF::Reader0 based tools for use in testing PDF output. Presently, the primary purpose of this tool is to support the tests found in Prawn1, a pure Ruby PDF generation library.
However, it may be useful to others, so we have made it available as a gem in its own right.
The recommended installation method is via Rubygems.
gem install pdf-inspector
Or put this in your Gemfile, if you use Bundler2:
group :test do
gem 'pdf-inspector', :require => "pdf/inspector"
end
Check for text in the generated PDF:
rendered_pdf = your_pdf_document.render
text_analysis = PDF::Inspector::Text.analyze(rendered_pdf)
text_analysis.strings.should include("foo")
Note that strings
is more like a list of words, and any string with a hyphen will be split up as two different
entries.
Check number of pages
rendered_pdf = your_pdf_document.render
page_analysis = PDF::Inspector::Page.analyze(rendered_pdf)
page_analysis.pages.size.should == 2
