Applitools checks PDFs against your approved baseline with Visual AI, run as a batch job in Eyes or opened directly inside a flow in Autonomous, so a broken table, a missing clause, or a wrong figure shows up before a statement, contract, or disclosure reaches a customer.
Dense tables, footnotes, and wrapped legal text hide layout shifts a quick skim won't catch. Visual AI checks every element on every page.
Run one job against every PDF a system generates instead of spot-checking a handful and assuming the rest are correct.
Applitools flags the exact page and region that changed, so reviewers stop lining up two PDFs and comparing them line by line.
No separate pipeline
Set a PDF as your test's start URL, or click through to one mid-flow. Autonomous renders it and tests it, with no download step, no separate image-comparison tool, and no script to stitch the results together.
One flow, every check
Text assertions, page navigation, and visual checkpoints all run inside the same flow you already built for the rest of your app.
Text assertions by page
Confirm page one contains "Total Amount," or that the disclosure on page twelve reads correctly, without opening the file by hand.
Fillable form support
Fill and validate PDF form fields with the same commands you already use for web forms.
No local files, no fixtures to manage
Upload a PDF once through the File Management Dashboard, then reference it from any test step. Autonomous injects the file at run time, so the test behaves the same in every environment.
Scope the check to what matters
Use the Regions Only match level to assert on just the uploaded document thumbnail or preview panel, so unrelated screen changes don't add noise to the result.
Diff descriptions
Every difference is classified into a sentence, like "Font family was changed from Calibri to Arial," instead of a highlighted region you have to interpret yourself.
Group a batch by what changed
Regroup an entire batch by diff description with one click, so a single formatting change across dozens of documents reads as one explanation, not dozens of tickets.
Applitools works with 50+ major testing frameworks and languages, source code tools, CI/CD tools, and collaboration tools.
Extend the same checks across web, native mobile, and PDF documents, so an issue doesn't slip through in a format you didn't think to test.
Build a PDF check in plain English, record a flow, or write code directly, so QA can add coverage without pulling in an engineer.
Visual comparisons run locally within your environment. Document content, including anything in the PDF, is never sent to an external model or used for training.
The same input always produces the same output in every locale, every run, so a result is something you can explain and trust.
Visual AI ignores rendering noise like anti-aliasing and sub-pixel shifts, and flags only the differences a real user would notice.
See the exact page, region, and diff description behind a failure, so you know if it's a data problem or a real layout bug.
