Re: [QF-Test] Override existing pdf

["Yann Spoeri, QFS" <yann.spoeri@?.de>]

Hi Kevin,

You may call the procedure qfs.shellutils.copy [1] in order to copy the pdf file first. You can use <path>/${qftest:runid}.pdf [2] (or something
similar) here in order to get copy the file to a unique location ... Then terminate/close the "Adobe Acrobat Reader" process (see below). And
then delete the original pdf file via the procedure qfs.shellutils.deleteFile [3].

Terminating a process:
Windows:
You can close a window via the procedure "qfs.autowin.close" [4]. In most cases this terminates the process too.
Linux/Mac:
If you only have one opened "Adobe Acrobat Reader" process (or if you want to close all opened adobe readers), you can run a command like:
killall -9 adobereader
via an 'Execute shell command' node [5].

Greetings,
    Yann
