Downloading PDF from Portal with Hidden Download Button

Help Studio
1

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on an automation project in UiPath where I need to download policies from a portal. Each policy has a download button hidden inside a Hamburger Icon. I have tried using the ‘For Each Ui Element’ activity, but it doesn’t work because the download button is not directly visible.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  1. Find Children Activity: I used this to identify the child elements within each policy card.
  2. For Each Loop: I attempted to loop through the identified elements to click on the download button.

The issue I’m facing is that the automation keeps clicking on the same card repeatedly, and I’m unable to target the specific download button inside the Hamburger Icon.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or could suggest an alternative approach to achieve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Do you think you can obtain the download link? Maybe by getting an element attribute?. In that case you may use HTTP Request activity (Included in UiPath.WebAPI activities package) for direct download.

Hope it helps

You should For Each UI Element over the hamburger buttons, click each one then click Download.
