How to checkpoint a PDF document/output in QTP

Hi Guru's,
I am currently testing an application which generates PDF & XLS reports and I would like to validate some text and data values within the PDF output to ensure an "expected result" is produced by the reporting system.

I am able to check cell values of the XLS spreadsheets, however it seems to only recognise the PDF document as a single object. Does any one have any leads/ideas on how I can identify/validate some specific text strings within this PDF output type?

Thank you in advance

Hi Nawab,
Thanks for your response, however I apologise but i'm not savvy enough to get the full benefit of your advice! Could you possibly break this down a little more for me? How do I integrate Shell with the QTP VB?

Help!

Regards,

CreateObject method is used for integrating Shell operations.


Set SH_OBJ = CreateObject("wscript.shell")

SH_OBJ.SendKey "ctrl" + "F"  '''emulate Find Feature i.e hitting Control & F keys.

SH_OBJ.SendKey "Down"


Set SH_OBJ = Nothing
