Harbour Components: Material certificate

Material certificate for Harbour Components. The supplier certificate behind the leg stock, naming the 4 purchase orders the inventory-manufacturing model records for LEG and the 48 legs and 144.00 USD they cover. The declared properties are invented values in a plausible shape and the certificate says so in its own words, because a fixture that looked like a real mill certificate would be worse than useless.

Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Join the purchase orders named here against the procurement table in the inventory-manufacturing model.
Expected result
All 4 purchase order identifiers exist in the model, they cover 48 legs at 144.00 USD, and every declared property result is inside the specification stated on the same row.

What is a .pdf file?

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a page-oriented format that fixes layout, fonts, and vector and raster graphics so a page renders identically anywhere. A `%PDF-` header is followed by numbered objects, a cross-reference table mapping each to a byte offset, and a trailer; edits append incremental updates rather than rewrite the file. Page content is a stream of drawing operators, so a PDF holds no words or paragraphs, only positioned glyph runs. Adobe released it in 1993 and gave it to ISO as ISO 32000-1 in 2008.

How to use this file

Use an example PDF to test text extraction, rendering, metadata parsing, AcroForm handling, and OCR pipelines: checking that extraction reconstructs reading order from glyph positions, that a scanned page yields no text, and that an incremental update leaves earlier revisions in the file.

How to use this file for testing

“Harbour Components: Material certificate” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.

Documented properties for this file: 1 pages. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Document fixtures list their internal structure (pages, fields, tracked changes, embedded objects) in the spec table. Test extractors, converters, and OCR against that known structure, and compare searchable↔scanned or format-twin companions when present.

Code examples

with pdfplumber.open("material-certificate-MC-2026-0001.pdf") as pdf:
    print(len(pdf.pages), "pages")
    print(pdf.pages[0].extract_text())
