Add-in Type

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

Prerequisite

To test a PDF document, you must open it in OpenText Functional Testing's PDF Testing Utility. Do one of the following:

• In OpenText Functional Testing, using the PDF Testing Utility button or menu command (in the Tools menu).

• In your test, use a PDFUtil.Open statement.

OpenText Functional Testing 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").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 Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

1. Change your tests to open the PDF document using the PDF Testing Utility, as described above.

2. Run your test in maintenance mode to update the properties that OpenText Functional Testing uses to identify the objects in the PDF document. For details, see Maintenance Run mode.
