PDF keeps asking me if I want to save the original file and i do not!

Help
1

I am getting the attached pop up box that asks me if I want to save the original pdf file before closing Adobe. I do not get this when I use “Save As” manually, i.e. I use Ctrl +Shift + S to invoke Save As manually, type the new file name, and click save and I do not get this box to pop up manually. When I automate, this pop up box occurs. Is there a way to avoid this or pause the automation to click “No” on the screen element? I will upload my automation screenshot next.

I have tried pausing 300 milliseconds after the “SAVE” type into but this does nothing.

5

or rather the SAVE hotkey button

can you share the xaml file that you use.

7

the problem is in the fill out pdf sequence after the IF staementemail from spreadsheet.xaml (27.8 KB)

8

When you get the pop-up, did you check whether the file got saved in the location you provided in the “Save as”?

9

I am using an v2018.2.3, so I am not having some activities that you have used.

it does not save the file. if i put a stop on error, would that allow me to insert a hotkey to click on “no”? I am only using community edition 2.0

This is the issue. Since it did not save, it is throwing the pop-up.
Try this:

Instead of hot keys, try to use click File → click save as.
type into - filename (uncheck simulate type), then click save.
and then close.

I do not know how you figured that out but it works! Why does click work instead of hotkey?
Thank you very much!
