I'm trying to verify the contents in PDF, I'm getting the URL using href and passing it in the below code. URL is with HTTPS, so I'm facing below issue. Can anyone help me how to proceed and help me to read pdf data . Thanks in advance

Retried URL is https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXX/XXXXXXXXXXX?docType=pdf&docid=2229123

        URL PDFUrl = new URL(url);
        BufferedInputStream TestFile = new BufferedInputStream(PDFUrl.openStream());
        PDFParser TestPDF = new PDFParser((RandomAccessRead) TestFile);
        TestPDF.parse();
        String TestText = new PDFTextStripper().getText(TestPDF.getPDDocument());
        System.out.println("Document Text is   "+   TestText);

error is

Are you setting the Accept SSL certs in the desired capabilities of the driver?

DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.chrome ()       
dc.setCapability (CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true)
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver (dc);

First Download pdfbox JAR 2.0.13 with all dependencies and import it. Now Read PDF file from URL.

public String readPDFInURL(String text) throws EmptyFileException, IOException {
        System.out.println("Enters into READ PDF");
        String output = "";
        URL url = new URL(driver.getCurrentUrl());
        System.out.println("url :  " + url);
        InputStream is = url.openStream();
        BufferedInputStream fileToParse = new BufferedInputStream(is);
        PDDocument document = null;
        try {
            document = PDDocument.load(fileToParse);
            output = new PDFTextStripper().getText(document);
            if (output.contains(text)) {
                System.out.println("Element is matched in PDF is : " + text);
                test.log(LogStatus.INFO, "Element is displayed in PDF " + text);
            } else {
                System.out.println("Element is not  matched in PDF");
                test.log(LogStatus.ERROR, "Element is not displayed in PDF :: " + text);
                throw new AssertionError("Element is not displayed" + text);
            }
        } finally {
            if (document != null) {
                document.close();
            }
            fileToParse.close();
            is.close();
        }
        return output;
    }

You can add pdfbox jar dependency using Maven and start reading the pdf that is downloaded using Selenium or an existing pdf document.

For example :

  File file = new File("C:/PdfBox_Examples/new.pdf");
  PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(file);

  //Instantiate PDFTextStripper class
  PDFTextStripper pdfStripper = new PDFTextStripper();

  //Retrieving text from PDF document
  String text = pdfStripper.getText(document);
  System.out.println(text);

  //Closing the document
  document.close();
