如何使用Selenium C＃从webapp下载生成的pdf文件并将其附加到Visual Studio中的测试结果

Question

I'm automating a web app using selenium c#, and one of the requirements is to attach an generated PDF file to the test results file in visual studio. I'm able to download the PDF by clicking on the respective button. Note that I don't have the download link URL since the PDF is generated at run time using JavaScript calls. So please help me with this question.

If you are looking for a simple solution, checkout the tika package, really straight forward for reading pdfs.

from tika import parser

raw = parser.from_file('sample.pdf')
print(raw['content'])

Multi - page pdf can be extracted as text at single stretch instead of giving individual page number as argument using below code

import PyPDF2
import collections
pdf_file = open('samples.pdf', 'rb')
read_pdf = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdf_file)
number_of_pages = read_pdf.getNumPages()
c = collections.Counter(range(number_of_pages))
for i in c:
   page = read_pdf.getPage(i)
   page_content = page.extractText()
   print page_content.encode('utf-8')
