① Click “Certificate PDF”
② Wait 2 seconds
③ Click “Save Icon”
④ Wait 2 seconds
⑤ Keyboard shortcut [k(enter)]
However, it stops at step ② “Save Icon.”
Do you have any missing activities?
It’s not that there are not enough activities, but perhaps the properties setting for the input mode and open/close of the browser surrounding the activity that clicks the save icon is incorrect?
The recommended settings for open/close are both Never or None.
The input mode should be:
Background
↓
Simulate
↓
Window Message
Try them in order and see if you can click.
What is the current status? If there is an error message, it would be helpful to share that.
Thank you.
- Click the certificate PDF on the site.
- A PDF viewer will open in a new tab.
- Click save (ctrl+s).
- Enter is the shortcut key.
- Move the file.
I modified the settings for the activity that clicks the save icon, but it didn’t work.
- Error message: Edge Super Visual Formade Print(1): ‘msedge.exe’ could not communicate with the UiPath extension for the browser. Please ensure that the extension is installed and enabled.
Best regards.
Hello
Have you started using SVF Print in the PDF viewing settings of Edge? Alternatively, if you can change the settings to allow downloads, it might be more reliable to do that and then use the download wait activity.
Thank you. I have changed the settings in Edge to allow downloads.
I will change it to a download wait activity.
(This may happen tomorrow.)
This setting applies when “Microsoft Edge is the default PDF reader,” so I believe it won’t work if that hasn’t changed. If SVF Print is still opening, I think you’ll need to modify the settings there.
Thank you for your support.
It seems that the download was not successful..
Waiting for download: No files were detected in “C:\Users\g0075\Downloads” during the timeout period (300 seconds). If the download is taking longer than expected, please extend the timeout period or check if the download folder is correct.
What does it look like on the screen?
If the content of the PDF is displayed, then it means the download hasn’t completed.
If the download has completed, it should appear in the notification area in the top right (or in the download icon).
Manually, when I issued the PDF, SVF Print opened.
I tested it in my environment.
First, there is a mention of SVF Print, which seems to be a server-side mechanism, and the resulting PDF was quite standard. Therefore, by enabling the “Always download PDFs” setting in Edge, it resulted in a file download; if this setting is disabled, the PDF is displayed inline.
Thus, if this setting is available, using the download wait activity would be the easiest option.
For example, there’s a link to a PDF file on the following page, but does this setting toggle between inline display and download?
Also, in my environment, after pressing the “Issue Usage Certificate” button, the following dialog appears; does this not appear for you? (It seems that this process is not present in the flow you initially uploaded.)
First of all, is it possible to download even when you operate manually?
If it can be done manually, there may be an issue on the UiPath side, but if it cannot, then I think it might be a problem with the Chrome or OS settings.
Also, it seems that the extension is not enabled, and if that’s the case, it also appears that operations like button clicks cannot be performed automatically. Is that working? Or is it being recognized through Computer Vision?
If there is an issue with the extension, please refer to the following (although I don’t think this is the direct cause of the download issue):
Thank you very much.
I was unable to download even manually.
The extension is locked and cannot be allowed.
Therefore, I also cannot perform the button click automatically.
It seems that I won’t be able to download the PDF…
This has been very educational. Thank you for your help over the past few days.
If it’s for use within a company, it might be in a state where it’s restricted by some policy. It could be a good idea to consult the IT department if possible. Even if direct downloads through the browser are not possible, there may be a chance to do it through UI operations.
