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

“Sales Quote Template (PDF)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Templates, Conversion testing. Professional, neutral starting-point documents you can download and adapt — invoices, resumes, budgets, and more.

Documented properties for this file: 5 lineItems · sales quote. 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.

This template ships filled with realistic sample content and documented fields and formulas. Download it as a starting point, or point a converter/parser at it — format twins (for example DOCX↔PDF) let you diff conversion fidelity.

Code examples

import pdfplumber  # pip install pdfplumber

with pdfplumber.open("quote.pdf") as pdf:
    print(len(pdf.pages), "pages")
    print(pdf.pages[0].extract_text())
