How to save Generated PDF files

[Viknes (Viknesvarant)]

Hey Guys! I’m trying to generate and save reports from people soft. After keying in the employee ID and searching for their records, there is a button to generate a PDF document. This PDF document opens in a new tab in the browser. I would like to save the generated PDF in a particular file destination on my desktop. I’ve tried many different ways but I keep getting this error :

Steps to be taken:

1. Enter employee ID on PeopleSoft
2. Search
3. Employee’s details
4. Click a button to generate details in PDF
5. PDF opens in a new tab
6. Save PDF in a specific file
7. Close the tab
8. Move on to the next employee

*I’ve reports for over 300 staff

I’m aware that I can loop the employee ID from a excel file which has it . But I’m having issues with saving of the PDF files.
May I know what I’m doing wrong? Or is there anything wrong with my steps?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you guys!

Use Ui Explorer to identify the selectors and properties and make changes if required as per your need.

The selector is one of the properties of UI activities and has an XML format. All the activities in UiPath Studio related to graphical elements have the selector property. The solution to this problem is to: • build better selectors Use Wild Card operators. To see the better and dynamic attributes compare the selectors and make dyna…

Creating generic selector in attach window?

Hi, I’m working with UiPath and I need to work with a people list. When I click on each member of te list A window appears and the selector of this window must contain the name and surname of the member I selected. This name changes each time, so as title in window selector I wrote: "wnd app=‘wfica32.exe’ cls=‘Transparent Windows Client’ title=’ PM - Synthèse Bénéficiaire - * - A1050- \Distant’ " Where * is the name and surname of the person. This works, but the problem is, that it works onl…
