Create a New PDF Requirements File

Before creating a new requirement file you should have available a requirements document that outlines the properties and design options for the new file.

In the File menu, select New > Expere Requirement Files > Dynamic Requirement.
The Document Properties dialog box opens.
Complete the Document Properties by filling in the text boxes and lists with information for the requirements document. For details, refer to Document Properties.
A PDF requirement document must have the Document ID and a file path to the PDF defined in order to create the file.
Note:
- If you do not supply the path to a PDF file within this window, you will be presented with a prompt to do so in the PDF tab.
- You can import a PDF template into the new PDF requirements document. For details, refer to Importing a PDF.
Select OK.
In Requirements Editor, save the file by selecting File > Save. The best practice is to use the form name as the REQ file name; the target file name will, most likely, be defined in the requirements.

The PDF requirement file is saved and available for authoring.
