Difference between RFT & QTP?

[anshika.agarwal]

Gr8 - If only you agreed the first time

Anyways, First of all - Can you give me differences between RFT8.2 and QTP11.

Questions are
1. While using RFT, though it worked fine in IE - but when used a simple recording in FF it gave me a wrappedexception - no idea why - I used only recording here by changing the environment to FF.

2. Is there any other way to read PDF using QTP - at the moment I only have Adobe reader and qtp doesnot read the text in the file - I tried the other way i.e. by copying it to the clipboard and then comparing the text I am looking for which worked fine - but still think thats just a workaround and not a right way to deal with it - Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Anshika

Agreed. I shouldnt have gone any further to explain you to create a new post because if all of the users can access it and you cannot then definitely there is no way i can help through

I checked the document. Looks like something is wrong out there (it has no content). I have sent an email to the person who has uploaded the document to see if he can rectify or re-load the document. You may have to wait until then.

I believe nobody here would be able to answer this question. This is related to RFT and it would definitely be an odd out in the QTP forum. I suggest you post this question on an RFT forum.

Few ways i am aware of,
1. You can obtain the PDF Enterprise license from Adobe and then QTP will be able to interact with it since there are defined methods available

2. Excellent Post by saket - Automate PDF,

3. My own tool - If you need it let me know, i will upload it. A part of how to do it is below.

Skeletal details below,
Parse PDF to a text file, read data from the text and compare

pdftotext [ That is the name of the software. google it and you should get it].

Here is how you would use PDFtoText -

pdftotext version 0.92
Copyright 1996-2000 Derek B. Noonburg
Usage: pdftotext [options] <PDF-file> [<text-file>]
-f <int> : first page to convert
-l <int> : last page to convert
-ascii7 : convert to 7-bit ASCII (default is 8-bit ISO Latin-1)
-latin2 : convert to ISO Latin-2 character set
-latin5 : convert to ISO Latin-5 character set
-eucjp : convert Japanese text to EUC-JP
-raw : keep strings in content stream order
-upw <string> : user password (for encrypted files)
-q : don't print any messages or errors
-v : print copyright and version info
-h : print usage information
-help : print usage information

Example to use would be

Systemutil.run "c:\pdftotext.exe"," C:\toconvert.pdf c:\converted.txt"

Hope it helps. Let me know if you need anything more.
