What is a .pdf file?

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a page-oriented document format that preserves fixed layout, fonts, vector and raster graphics, and text across platforms. It can also embed forms, annotations, attachments, and digital signatures. It is the de facto standard for finished, print-ready documents.

How to use this file

Use an example PDF to test text extraction, rendering, page-count and metadata parsing, form-field handling, and conversion or OCR pipelines.

How to use this file for testing

“PDF with Mixed Page Sizes” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for PDF editor testing, Conversion testing. Form PDFs, bookmarked documents, scanned pairs, and deliberately corrupt files for exercising PDF editors, parsers, and fillers.

Documented properties for this file: 3 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("mixed-page-sizes.pdf") as pdf:
    print(len(pdf.pages), "pages")
