I was wondering how I could save a PDF file within a URL. I am able to get to the URL and click the download button. However, once the popup to Cancel or Download shows up I can not click this button even with Xclic. Can I use any of the other options available to me to download the pdf file locally?
Hi @mc84usa ,
currently I have several problems using XClick, too.
Maybe you can try XType | ${KEY_ALT+KEY_S} instead of XClick?
(I’m not sure if it depends on the browser or settings.)
Hi Mc84usa,
I am using the following command:
"Command","executeScript_Sandbox"
"Target","var link = document.createElement('a');\nlink.href = 'YOUR_URL';\nlink.download = '';\nlink.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('click'));"
"Value",""
Does this help?
Best wishes
Anselm
I had to make a few revisions to your code, I am able to get the page to show up, however, the click to save is not working as the url is a forwarding url that takes me to a google drive url. Not sure if thats the problem or if i am not understanding the click.
Before your solution, I am able to get the file to download and the Save As screen from popping up in an Untitled Tab that has the SAVE Pop-Up as seen here Screenshot by Lightshot

}```
Did you try to leave
link.download = 'Jenny Test';
empty? For me the downoad is triggerd by this js…
