# Test Documents

> Sample PDFs for testing document processing in the sandbox

When testing [Document Processing](/developers/integration/document-processing), use the sample PDFs below. Upload these documents to test successful parsing, various tax form types, and suspicious document detection.

<Note>
  Test scenarios use the **file name** to determine results. The sandbox ignores actual file contents. Only the file name matters.
</Note>

<Tip>
  **Trigger a suspicious result on any doc upload test scenario.** Add the prefix `suspicious.` to any test file name from this page (for example, rename `most.recent.paystub.pdf` to `suspicious.most.recent.paystub.pdf`) and upload it. The doc upload task will return data with `is_suspicious: true`. This works for every test file listed below — paystubs and tax forms.
</Tip>

## Pay stubs

To flag **any** doc upload test scenario as suspicious, rename the file with the `suspicious.` prefix before uploading. See the tip at the top of this page for the full rule and examples.

## Validation failures

Use these files to test the file-level validation flags returned by the [Document Collections API](/developers/integration/document-processing). Each file triggers a specific validation failure on the [collection retrieve](/api-reference/document-collections/collections_retrieve) response.

In the sandbox, only the **file name** determines the test scenario — the actual file contents are ignored. You can upload any PDF as long as the filename matches.

| Document                | Triggers                                                                                    | Download                                                                                                        |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Unreadable file         | `is_readable: false`                                                                        | [unreadable.pdf](https://citadelid-resources.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/doc_upload/unreadable.pdf)              |

<Warning>
  The sandbox triggers the duplicate scenario by **file name**. In production, Truv detects duplicates by **file content**, not file name — so sandbox results for renamed or same-named files do not reflect production behavior. See [How duplicate detection works](/developers/integration/document-processing#how-duplicate-detection-works).
</Warning>

## Base64 encoding for Document Collections API

The [Document Collections API](/developers/integration/document-processing) accepts base64-encoded file content when creating or uploading to a collection. To encode a test document for use with the API:

```bash theme={null}
# Download a test document
curl -O https://prod.truv.com/v1/permalink/most.recent.paystub.pdf

# Base64 encode it
base64 -i most.recent.paystub.pdf -o most.recent.paystub.b64

# Use the encoded content in your API call
cat most.recent.paystub.b64
```

Pass the base64 string as the `content` field when creating a document collection:

```json theme={null}
{
  "files": [
    {
      "filename": "most.recent.paystub.pdf",
      "content": "BASE64_ENCODED_CONTENT"
    }
  ]
}
```

<Note>
  In sandbox mode, the **file name** determines the test scenario, not the actual content. The base64 content can be from any valid PDF — only the filename matters for sandbox behavior.
