Test PDF Generator with Sample Documents

A focused tool for generating test PDF files used in upload-flow QA, document-pipeline testing and viewer compatibility checks. Four profiles (lorem-ipsum body text, multi-page with sections and footer, a wide table of rows × columns, fully blank pages) at standard paper sizes A4, Letter, Legal, A3. PDF metadata (title, author, subject, creator) is populated so your parser sees realistic input.

How to use

Pick a content profile — lipsum / multi-page / big-table / blank.

Pick page count and paper size. Set a custom document title.

Hit Generate — the PDF is built with pdf-lib in your browser and saved to your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I generate PDF/A or tagged PDF here?

Not via pdf-lib — those flavours need a stricter authoring path (XMP metadata, ICC profile, structure tree, explicit conformance). For PDF/A archival testing use a real PDF/A authoring tool or our compress-pdf / merge-pdf tools, which preserve PDF/A if the input was already PDF/A.

Why is the file so small for many pages?

The generated PDFs use only standard 14 fonts (Helvetica, etc.) — no font subset is embedded. That makes 100-page test files <500 KB. For tests against real production PDFs the absolute size will differ; that is fine if you are testing pagination or upload flows, less so if you are stress-testing memory.

Do these PDFs contain images or forms?

Not currently — they are vector-text-only. For PDFs with images, fillable forms or signatures use a dedicated authoring tool, or scan a real document. We deliberately keep this tool to text-based pipeline-test content.

Why does the big-table profile cap at one page per copy?

The big-table profile fills one full page with 20 rows × 5 columns. If you set Pages = 3, you get three identical-content pages. The goal is to test table renderers / extractors, not produce a 100-row spanning table — for that use a real CSV export to PDF.
