Automation failed: Can't access internal browser pages?

Help Studio
1

Hi team,

Use Case:
I want to “PDF print” a website. The webseite contains kind of slides, which I can scroll through, if I click the “next” button.

My targeted automation:
a) Load page
b) Press print button
c) Select printer “Print to PDF”
d) Click of save
e) Save file to a specific folder/ file name (parameter)
f) Click on “next” page
g) repeat the above

Problem:
Actuall this is a quite simple flow. However, I struggle with the accessability of this little printer window. Once you click on print, a pop-up appears, which offers me the selection of the printer.

However, if I try to screenrecord this window with UIPath, the system tells me that “internal browser pages” or “new tabs” cannot be automated.

Has anybody experienced the same and can provide a solution?

Regards,

Hi @Andreas-K001 ,

Could you provide us with Screenshots of the Window that you are facing the Problem?

Hey @Andreas-K001 ,

Are you using classic or modern package?
If using classic, try with the “attach window” activity.
If using modern, try with the “use application/browser” activity in the pop up screen.

Please let us know if it helped you or give us more information about the case.

Att,
Gustavo

hey

after you end the prin to pdf step, use the attach window activity, select the file explorer and perform the activities inside until you save the pdf

regards!

@Andreas-K001 May I know why you are screen recording. Is it not working with any of the UiPath activities ?

Hi guys,

thanks for your replies. I think i could now narrow down the problem a little bit.

I think the biggest problem is that UIPath recognizes the “print window” as
“Chrome Legacy Window”.

It seems that UIPath is not able to process this kind of window:

Any ideas?
