Work with the PDF Engine 3.0

To work with the PDF Engine 3.0, follow the steps below:

  1. Open the PDF Scan.

  2. Create controls for your PDF file.

  3. Edit the controls that you have created.

  4. Save the controls that you have created as a Module.

  5. Optionally, configure the accuracy for finding anchor controls in your document.

  6. Create a TestStep based on the PDF Module.

Rescan your PDF file

If you want to add new controls to an existing Module or modify controls, you can rescan your PDF file.

Compare two PDF files

The PDF Engine 3.0 allows you to compare PDF files with the Module PDF 1:1 Compare. This Module is part of the Standard subset.

For information on how to compare files, see chapter "Compare PDF files".

Extract a link from a PDF

With the Standard subset Module Extract Links, you can extract and buffer a link from a PDF file. After you buffer a link, you can reuse it later when building your TestCase with Modules like OpenUrl.

For information on how to extract a link, see chapter "Extract links from PDF files".
