Compare PDF Documents

[craig.norton]

I’m trying to compare 2 PDFs and found the Compare PDF Documents activity with the UiPath.Testing.Activities package (version 25.4.0). This works perfectly when I select 2 PDFs and run the process. Because I have more PDFs to compare I want to pass the 2 file locations as string variables. The activity throws an error if I give it a String Variable as it is expecting a type of IResource. I created 2 variables for the input files of type IResource via Ctrl+K (UiPath.Platform.ResourceHandling.IResource), however can’t figure out how to get the original string variable value into these variables.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

however can’t figure out how to get the original string variable value into these variables.

Use
LocalResource.FromPath(<string_your_file_path)

@craig.norton,

Pass it like this

LocalResource.FromPath("your pdf file path")

@adi.mehare and @ashokkarale that works perfectly.
