Hi All,
We have a requirement such that, RPA bot need to open a record details in a web page then, save that details page (webpage) as PDF. We are trying to use keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+P' to open the print window, where there is option to 'Save as PDF' but, the robotic task is not able to capture any action in that print window.
Could you please tell me how to overcome this issue? I just need to save the webpage as PDF in the bot machine's download folder.
TIA

You cannot automate the browser’s Ctrl+P print dialog using Appian RPA because it is a native operating system window outside the robot’s control. I am not sure how it will work but give it a try - The bot capture the fully rendered webpage’s HTML - including inline CSS and accessible images - and then pass that HTML to Appian’s HTML to PDF Smart Service within a process model.Helpful Link :https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.2/rpa-9.17/actions-browser.htmlhttps://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/html-to-pdf#:~:text=The%20Smart%20Service%20will%20accept,from%20HTML%20with%20landscape%20orientation.
Isn't there a function to search for a specific piece of an image on the screen, and then click there? Did you try this?
