It my case I am trying to compare report files--my reports contain "font subsetting" in the PDF report files. Nuance was the best tool to convert PDF files to text files that preserves the "report integrity"--lines of the original PDF report are changed to lines in a text file report and white space is reduced--text file versions of the report are smaller and easier to compare. I then use QTP pattern matching to change text values that don't need to be compared (eg. a date is changed to mmddyy, an account number is changed (1234 becomes aaaa). I keep only original numeric string values that should be compared--in my case this is payroll money values. After the cleaning step, the files are ready to be compared (older reports of the same type are compared with newer reports--the older reports were saved from a previous time and have gone through the same process steps: PDF->Txt-->Clean values that should not be compared) I use a tool Nuance PDF Professional.

But when i am running, it comes yup with Error message 'File location not found' (even though file exists in the location). Could you please help me. I have copied below code in QTP >> File 'Test' and changed the location paths and try to run. Please help, do i need to do any thing else before? Set objExcel = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”) objExcel.Visible = True Set objWorkbook1= objExcel.Workbooks.Open(“C:\result\lotexpt.xls”) Set objWorkbook2= objExcel.Workbooks.Open(“C:\result\lotact.xls”) set newWorkbook=objExcel.Workbooks.Add Set objWorksheet1= objWorkbook1.Worksheets(1) Set objWorksheet2= objWorkbook2.Worksheets(1) Set objNewWorksheet= newWorkbook.Worksheets(1) For Each cell In objWorksheet1.UsedRange If cell.Value objWorksheet2.Range(cell.Address).Value Then objNewWorksheet.Range(cell.Address).Value=cell.Value objNewWorksheet.Range(cell.Address).Interior.ColorIndex = 3′ Highlights in red color if any changes in cells’ else objNewWorksheet.Range(cell.Address).Interior.ColorIndex=0 End If Next set objExcel=nothing Hi,

For Each cell In objWorksheet1.UsedRange

The API comes free with the reader version, the only difference being that you can just perform readonly functions with this API while for editing functions you need the full version Adobe API. The declaration for this reader API is different from the one for full version API i.e "acroexch.app". The API declaration for the reader API can be found on Adobe's site. I am not able to recall it right now. The best way is to use the API.

The .pdf reports are converted to .txt documents using PDF Converter tool (needed to overcome .pdf reports font subsetting). The .txt files are "cleaned" removing dates, times, user information using QTP ("Search and Replace"). When QTP is used, .txt files become Unicode format. Notepad is used to convert .txt files to ANSI format. Then .txt files are compared using QTP. Differences are reported line by line. We regularly compare over 150-175 .pdf reports daily.
