DWF Hyperlink Checker Visual Basic program

Software Quality Assurance Engineer, John Schmier, has been working with DWF since the early days of WHIP!. John was the first non-developer to ever generate a DWF file from AutoCAD. He used AutoCAD R13 and issued a DWFOut command. DWFOut only worked if a user had the WHIP ADI video driver in use. That was then. This is now.

As part of leading the effort to test various DWF products, John has developed a Visual Basic application that identifies the hyperlinks in a DWF file. To use this application: Download the URL Helper zip file (7KB). Extract URLHelper.exe from URLHelper.zip. Invoke URLHelper.exe. Click Open. Navigate to a DWF file. Select it. The number of objects with hyperlinks is shown. If hyperlinks exist, you can copy and paste one to the Navigate to URL window and click on the "Navigate to URL" button.

John is an expert at automation testing. He has been responsible for many DWF-related sample code items over the years. Thanks John!
