Hello friends,
Hello friends,
@rkelchuri, @Ninett_Panfir, @Rammohan91, @balupad14, @Florent_Salendres, @vvaidya, @Palaniyappan, @ClaytonM, @vvaidya
I have this situation.
I need always to select the option “microsoft print to pdf”.

“wnd app=‘iexplore.exe’ cls=‘#32770’ title=‘Stampa’ wnd cls=‘#32770’ title=‘Generale’ wnd ctrlid=‘1’ title=‘FolderView’ ctrl name=‘Visualizzazione cartella’ role=‘list’ ctrl name=‘Microsoft Print to PDF’ role=‘list item’ />”
The selecto is this one.
I tried with select item but doesn’t work.
How can I do?
Thank you so much,
Cami

I need always to select the option “microsoft print to pdf”.

is that so we can make it as default printer right, so that we dont need to select it either
Cheers @CamiCat

I found that using Select Item worked best for me on this particular Print window. You could revisit that option. Here is what worked for me (in English):

I would be against setting it as Default, just because it gives you just one more thing you need to set up whenever a new machine or user is used for the automation.

Thank you so much @ClaytonM.
Did it worked with the selector I provided to you?
Thank you,

You can also use the below Component. It works perfectly for me.

Select item is not working for me.

@Balesh can you be more specific of what is not working? Images of your error message and your activity/properties would be helpful.

Also, make sure your UiAutomation activity package is up-to-date

Thanks.
