How to know if a PDF is loaded?

I am trying to open different PDFs on a page, how to know if the PDF has been loaded before performing any action on it?

Hi @HithaNV

You can check it by using start process activity

Thanks

Welcome back to our UIPath Community.

Use Element Exists activity and indicate any fixed element. If it gives true then it means page loaded else its not loaded.

Thank you but I don’t have PDF files in a folder. I need to follow a link to open the PDF file in browser itself.

Element exists/on element appear - I am unable to all of those activities because there is no element to check if the PDF is loaded. Even when the buffering ring is gone, the PDF still takes few seconds to load.

You can use Retry scope and delay activities

Thanks

Thank you. I tried using Get attribute activity and it is working fine :slight_smile:
