Saving PDF through IE without opening

NiranjanRupnawa — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 15:57:00 GMT

Hi All,

I am pulling the details of DB in collection & then punching one unique ID on the target application (web based).

Post the unique id is pasted, need to save the PDF file associated with the id, there is an hyperlink on the unique id.
I don't want to open the PDF & then save it because the work volume is high, looking for an option where I can direct the BOT to directly save the file to the path I would provide or give the option at the bottom of the IE window, from here I can direct the BOT further.

Have tried using the File Utility VBO, did not work.

Please suggest.

Thanks
Niranjan

Hi
I am wondering if in IE you right click on the link and download the file? Maybe you try and achieve the same in Blue Prism?

Hi Niranjan ,

You may also extract out the direct url of the pdf file and do a HTTP GET request using HTTP Utility VBO. You could also try out Download file action of Utility - File management
