Edit PDF controls

With the PDF Engine 3.0, you can test whether the content of a PDF file is what you expect it to be.

This chapter explains how to edit the controls you have created in your PDF file. You can then save them as a Module and create tests based on the PDF Module.

You can edit the controls that you have created in the PDF Scan window by performing the following actions:

  • To select an area, click it in either the PDF View or the Controls View.

  • To jump to a specific area in the PDF View, double-click the icon of the control in the Controls View or click the Jump icon.

  • To change the name of an area, double-click its name in the Controls View.

  • To change the size of an area, select it in the PDF View, and resize the rectangle.

  • To change the location of an area, select it in the PDF View and drag the rectangle to its new location.

  • To change the type of an area, right-click it in the PDF View and select a new type from the context menu (text, image or table).

  • To redraw an area, click the Redraw icon next to the control in the Controls View.

  • To delete an area, click the Delete icon next to the control in the Controls View, or right-click the area in the PDF View and select Remove this control from the context menu.
