Hi everyone, i need help. I tried to save my document as pdf, but when i tried to click the “Save as Type” to PDF, it has not selected as PDF, but still on “Word Document (*.docx)”. How is it?
And btw i cannot use “Word Application Scope” coz for my project, i have another issue when using that activity, that is there’s no data source confirmation" like the topic i’ve posted below
This is a good solution but it only works with Word and pdf. I had the problem with html and excel files. The reason I asked about the type of click is that sometimes the native windows elements dont like simulate click. It doesn’t fail but nothing changes.
I don’t have an objective @prasath17. I don’t have problems with this, I was just responding and trying to help @Felix.Effendi. The reason why his way doesn’t work has probably got something to do with the type of click he is using. Your way only works if you are starting with a word document which isn’t always the case.
got it…Instead of directing the question to original poster…i tagged you wrongly…
Your way only works if you are starting with a word document which isn’t always the case.
what you exactly mean by “which isn’t always the case” …? Above workflow can be easily expanded to any filetype (that is what my plan is)…for ex: if excel…use excel application use…like this…
Oh sorry I thought you were replying to me. I don’t think there is an application scope for every file type. Sometimes we will need to use the native Microsoft Windows and we should understand what type of clicks work there and how they generally behave.
Thanks for the solution to use type into and send P letter, that’s work but i think that’s not really a good solution, coz i think if there’s another file type that lead by letter “P”, so it’s gonna be wrong, right?
And I cannot user Word Activity coz it have another problem like what i mentioned above, that is there’s no data source confimation for that document. Thank u.
Hi @blathursby… i used only click activity, like do we do to save file in normal way. Just click the “save as type” and then the combo box will show and then click again to that PDF type, but there’s nothing change. LOL. I tried with simulate on and off, but it has a same result, nothing change. hahaha. Thank u btw
Btw for types with the P letter, it’s just my concern, maybe someday there will be other document types that start with the letter P, for example “Pascal”, “Python” or other types of P that can be convert with MS Word, so this solution will no longer be valid right?
hi @prasath17. I’ve tried this with select item “Save as Type” and then the Save as Type changed, but in fact it wasn’t changing, coz when i checked to the file, it still .docx file. LOL
