Frequently Asked Questions
What PDF variants are available?
We offer size-targeted PDFs (1KB to 10MB), a password-protected PDF test file (password: test123), a fillable form with interactive fields, a table/charts PDF for extraction testing, landscape orientation, and both A4 and US Letter paper sizes. All generated with open-source libraries — safe, virus-free, and royalty-free.
How do I test password-protected PDFs?
Download sample-pdf-with-password.pdf — it's encrypted with password 'test123'. Use it to verify your application handles encrypted PDFs correctly: prompting for password, rejecting wrong passwords, and rendering after successful unlock. Works with Adobe Acrobat, Chrome viewer, and all PDF libraries (pdf-lib, PyPDF2, iText).
What PDF paper sizes are included?
We include A4 (210×297mm, international standard) and US Letter (8.5×11 inches, North American standard). Use these to test print layout, margin handling, and paper size detection in PDF viewers and printing workflows. The default size-targeted files use A4.
How do I test file upload with different PDF sizes?
Download the sizes you need: small (1KB, 10KB) for basic functionality, medium (100KB–1MB) for standard use, large (5MB, 10MB) for upload limits and progress bars. Test the password-protected variant for encryption handling, and the form variant for interactive PDF support.
Are these PDF files safe to download?
Yes. All files are generated with open-source libraries (pdf-lib) and contain only placeholder text, images, and formatting. No macros, no scripts, no embedded executables. Free to use for any purpose — commercial, educational, or personal. No attribution required.
Can I extract tables from the sample PDFs?
Yes. The sample-pdf-with-table.pdf contains structured tables ideal for testing PDF table extraction with tools like Camelot, Tabula, pdfplumber (Python), or pdf-parse (Node.js). The table data uses realistic column headers and rows for realistic extraction testing.
