Hi jayraocourts,

I am not sure I understand the question.  If you have a link to a PDF on a webpage you can verify whether or not it works by clicking on it. 

How do you mean to validate that it works?

To follow on what Chris said, if you want to send us the link we can look at it for you.

i have verified the link exist. I am trying to verify the click of the link opens the correct page. sorry for confusion.

it can be any link. that opens any pdf

The fact that the PDF has opened, is that not validation enough?

Hi,

Let me try to explain what the other users meant with a simple flow:

1. For this approach configure your test environment that PDF are opened in a new Adobe Reader.window. (There are other options; PDF could also be opened in a new browser window - then you'll need to modify the following.)
   
   
2. Let UFT close any open Adobe Reader instance.
   
   
3. Let UFT click on the link: just record the click on a link and - if necessary - modify the code so it clicks on the right link.
   
   
4. A new Adobe Reader is opened; create a Checkpoint to verify the application is started. This should be sufficient to validate there is a PDF.
   
   
5. If you also need to validate that the PDF is really opened successfully in Adobe Reader (because PDF files could be broken) then I'd add a checkpoint on the number of pages of the PDF:

Hope this helps?

Regards,

Dirk

So I have code that selects link and opens the pdf file in a Firefox window(tab). This is a link to a pdf that is online. When i try to create a checkpoint of any kind I get nothing or error says that not supported. Any ideas ?
