In case you're using Java along with your Appium tests, you may try pdf-util. This library supports comparison of PDF files in both visual and textual modes.

First get your PDF text:

import com.testautomationguru.utility.PDFUtil;

PDFUtil pdfUtil = new PDFUtil();

//returns the pdf content - all pages
String pdfText = pdfUtil.getText("/path/to/file.pdf");

Then in order to compare to expected text:

pdfText.contains(..

or 

pdfText.matches(..

In order to access your PDF file on the device, you may try pull-file.

// Java

byte[] pdfFile = driver.pullFile("/internal storage/downloads/filename.pdf");

  • my file is in internal storage/downloads/filename.pdf so you mean i need to use like byte[] fileBase64 = driver.pullFile("/internal storage/downloads/filename.pdf"); – Love Jun 10 '18 at 10:21
  • Take a look at the documentation of both pdf-utl and pull-file, then try these libraries in your code and update your question with more practical points. – AutomatedOwl Jun 10 '18 at 10:30
