pdfConnector Close() Doesn't Completely Close File
In Pega Robotics 8.0.1037.0 if IsOpen is called immediately following a call to Close(), it will return True. Not until the FileName is set to null will IsOpen return a False. Whether this is by design is not addressed in the online Help documentation. It also appears that setting the FileName is the equivalent of an Open although this really isn't described in the online Help documentation either. The textbox for the code below returns the following:
Closed...
Is Open
Is NOT Open

Hello,
On reviewing the corresponding SR, we see that it has been resolved. This is now being considered as a product enhancement - PDF Connector methods to be more intuitive to use.

Incidentally, the first example opens the passed filename, and the second will always show that the file is already Open [which is what would be expected]. Pega Robotics must decide that it does a pull when the target property is in the execution path and a push when it isn't.

Hi Ed,
The following article will be help you in creating an SR as suggested by Xavier.
Let us know the SR number here within the thread so that we can tag it along with the thread.
Hope the information is helpful.

SR-B52968 has been opened. It's not a question of goals. I had to mess with my automation for quite a while to figure out that the Close was not sufficient. I am sure others will encounter the same issue. It would be better if the Close actually completely closed the PDF.
I also find it a little odd that there is not Open, and that specifying the filename opens the PDF.
