Add-in Type

This is a Windows-based add-in. Much of its functionality is the same as other Windows-based add-ins.

Supported Environments

For details on supported Adobe Acrobat Pro versions, see the PDF Add-in section of the UFT One Product Availability Matrix.

Prerequisite

Configure the Reading options in Adobe Acrobat Pro in one of the following ways:

• In the Adobe Acrobat Pro dialog box that opens when you first use UFT One to record or spy on a PDF document:

  In Reading Order, select Infer reading order from document

  In Reading Mode Options, select Read the currently visible pages only

  Select Do not show this dialog again to avoid seeing it each time you use UFT One to test PDF documents.

  Tip: If the dialog box does not open, set the Reading options in Adobe Acrobat Pro, using Edit > Preferences.

• In Adobe Acrobat Pro, select Edit > Preferences, and then choose the Reading category.

  In Reading Order, select Infer reading order from document

  In Page vs Document, select Only read the currently visible pages

  Clear the Confirm before tagging documents option to prevent the Adobe Acrobat Pro dialog box from opening each time you use UFT One to test PDF documents.

UFT One recognizes PDF documents with different names as different test objects.

If your test saves a file with a different name, subsequent test steps must use a different test object for the file. You can do this in one of the following ways:

• Add another test object to the object repository

• Use a programmatic description for the test object, which uses the new file name.

  For example:

  PDFApplication("name:=NewFileName.pdf - Adobe Acrobat").GoToPage 5

Test Object Methods and Properties

The PDF Add-in provides test objects, methods, and properties that can be used when testing interactive PDF documents. For details, see the PDF section of the UFT One Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

Opening Your Application

You can open your PDF document before or after opening UFT One.

A test can open the document during a run, using the SystemUtil.Run method.

• If Adobe Acrobat Pro is configured as the default application for PDF files, call SystemUtil.Run with the PDF file name.

• Otherwise, call the method with Adobe Acrobat Pro as the application to run, and with the file it should open.
