Is it possible to pass a file downloaded by a robotic task to a process model without using Upload Document?

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a Robotic Task in Appian RPA that performs the following steps:

1. Opens a browser and accesses a web portal.
2. Enters credentials (passed as text input).
3. Navigates through some pages and downloads a file (PDF).
4. Accesses the local folder where the file was saved.

Currently, after downloading the file, the robot uses Upload Document to upload it to Appian as a Document.

My question is:

Is there a way to pass the downloaded file directly to the process model without using Upload Document?

In other words, I’d like to avoid explicitly uploading the file to Appian and see if it’s possible to return it directly to the process model as a file in memory or temporary file reference using the output data tab of the robotic task.

Has anyone dealt with a similar scenario?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
