General
This sections lets you view general information on the file. It also allows you to change the file location and select the location type.
  • Name: Indicates the name of the PDF document.
  • Size: Indicates the size of the PDF document, in bytes or MB on disk.
  • Location: Indicates the full path of the current PDF file.
      Note:
    • By default, the Location field displays the absolute path of the PDF file.
  • Location Type: Indicates how the PDF path is saved into the project file.
    Absolute path
    Specifies the full PDF path saved into the project.
    For example:

    Project file path: c:\projects\project.uaproj.

    PDF file path: c:\files\demo.pdf .

    Absolute PDF path within project file:path="c:\files\demo.pdf".

      Note:
    • If you move the project file anywhere on your disk, without moving the PDF file, the project file will still be able to locate the PDF. However, if the project file is moved on another disk, the PDF will not be found.
    Relative to project path
    Specifies the PDF path saved into the project, relative to the project path. When opening a project, the PDF path becomes the project path together with the relative path.
    For example:

    Project file path: c:\my work\project.uaproj.

    PDF file path: c:\my work\demo.pdf.

    Relative PDF path within project file: path="demo.pdf".

      Note:
    • If you move the project file anywhere on your disk, without moving the PDF file, the project file will not be able to locate the PDF. However, if you move both project and PDF files anywhere on the same disk or on another disk, the project finds the PDF file.
    • By default, the Location Type is set to Relative to project path.
