PowerShell Document Test Script

Question

Hi Everyone.
I am in desperate need of some Powershell Test Script.
I am trying to automate document composition testing, as in direct powershell to a directory containing the pdf document and data files. 
I am able to get the data in raw form and then the data to be accessible on Powershell.
I am trying to test if things are as they should be as according to a spec.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME????
i HAVE NEVER USED pOWERSHELL OR DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND MY JOB DEPENDS ON IT.

Hi CraigdelaRey,
If you want to query all the .pdf files under directory d:\, please refer to the script below:
Get-ChildItem d:\*.pdf -Recurse|select -ExpandProperty fullname
To read the pdf file in Powershell, please refer to this script, which also need the itextsharp library from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/
And the script below is for your reference:
Add-Type -Path .\itextsharp.dll
$reader = New-Object iTextSharp.text.pdf.pdfreader -ArgumentList "$pwd\test.pdf"
for ($page = 1; $page -le $reader.NumberOfPages; $page++) {
$lines = [char[]]$reader.GetPageContent($page) -join "" -split "`n"
foreach ($line in $lines) {
if ($line -match "^\[") {
$line = $line -replace "\\([\S])", $matches[1]
$line -replace "^\[\(|\)\]TJ$", "" -split "\)\-?\d+\.?\d*\(" -join ""
Refer to:

If there is anything else regarding this script, please feel free to post back.
