Sample PDF files for testing — free, CC0, hotlinkable

PDF is the format upload forms, viewers and parsers are tested against most, so there are more files here than for any other document format. None embeds fonts or scripts.

For page handling, pdf/a4-1page.pdf, pdf/a4-3pages.pdf and pdf/a4-10pages.pdf are A4 portrait pages of Lorem Ipsum in the Helvetica core font, the longer two with page numbers. pdf/letter-1page.pdf has the same content on a US Letter page box, and pdf/a4-landscape-1page.pdf is wider than it is tall.

For content, pdf/a4-with-images-2pages.pdf embeds the published 640x480 PNG and JPEG, and pdf/a4-with-table-1page.pdf holds a ten-row table of the shared people dataset. pdf/a4-encrypted-1page.pdf is AES-128 encrypted with the user password loremfile and the owner password loremfile-owner. pdf/blank-1page.pdf has one page and no content, and pdf/minimal.pdf is a hand-written file with one page and the word Hello.

For size limits, pdf/1mb.pdf and pdf/10mb.pdf embed incompressible noise images rather than padding. Related formats: DOCX, EPUB, PNG and JPEG.
