## Running the sample program
The pdfium\_test program supports reading, parsing, and rasterizing the pages of

+that this will write output images to `path/to/myfile.pdf.<n>.ppm`.

+## Testing
+
+There are currently several test suites that can be run:
+
+ * pdfium\_unittests
+ * pdfium\_embeddertests
+ * testing/tools/run\_corpus\_tests.py
+ * testing/tools/run\_javascript\_tests.py
+ * testing/tools/run\_pixel\_tests.py
+
+It is possible the tests in the `testing` directory can fail due to font
+differences on the various platforms. These tests are reliable on the bots. If
+you see failures, it can be a good idea to run the tests on the tip-of-tree
+checkout to see if the same failures appear.
