In this example, we are using driver to launch the browser and url. But not using the driver in PDFBOX code as I could not find the right example online.
In real time use case, you can click on pdf link from the web page and get the href/url value of the same link and use it in PDFBOX code in URL class object.

example:
String url =
URL pdfUrl = new URL(url);

Hi Naveen, your video on PDF validation is very good. Can you do video on using selenium to automate the mainframe screens like IBM personal communications
