Hi,
I am trying to export PDF into Excel using the following steps.
Use application/browser - PDF
Sent hot keys - ALT F (To open the file menu)
Now I need to click Export To and Select Excel.
But the click is not identifying the menu item Export.
How can I accomplish this. Is there a hot key I can use to export from PDF?
Is there any other way? I cannot add marketplace components etc.
Use Send Hotkey: Instead of clicking on the menu item, you can use the “Send Hotkey” activity to send the appropriate key combination to initiate the export process. In this case, you can send the combination of keys that corresponds to the export action. For example, you can try sending “Ctrl + Shift + E” to export to Excel. Experiment with different key combinations to find the one that works for your specific PDF application.
Use Hotkeys: Instead of using the Click activity to interact with the menu, you can try using Hotkeys to navigate to the “Export” option. For example, after pressing ALT+F to open the file menu, you can use hotkeys like Down Arrow, Right Arrow, or Enter to reach the “Export” option. Experiment with different combinations of hotkeys until you can select the desired option.
Use Image Automation: Instead of relying on selectors or menu items, you can use Image Automation to click on specific parts of the PDF application’s interface. Capture an image of the “Export” option and use the Click Image activity to click on it.
