We’re encountering an issue with an automation that uses Set Text
to populate the file name field in a ‘Save As’ dialog (Adobe Acrobat Pro). The workflow works perfectly for most users, but for a few, the dialog tries to save over the original template, prompting a ‘Replace existing file’ message even though the file path and name appear to be correctly filled.
Here’s what I’ve already implemented:
Set Text
is used to populate the full path and file name.- Followed by a `Send Hotkey’ to tab out of the field and commit the value.
- ‘Get Attribute’ to confirm the file name matches the expected path.
- Click 'Save` after path is confirmed.
Despite this, some users still get the ‘replace’ prompt, which seems to indicate the path wasn’t actually committed even though it appears correct and passes the verification check.
I’m thinking I might try adding a ‘click’ activity in a neutral part of the ‘save as’ box, maybe to lock it in the value, or an additional ‘tab’, but before I do that and push it to our test environment, I’m hoping someone here has encountered this.
One last thing, I’d like to avoid the ‘Type Into’ activity for speed, but if I have to use it as a fallback I will.
Thanks in advance for the help!
