Saving an auto-generated PDF given by a website
Hello,
I am trying to download a PDF using Pega Robotics Studio but have not found an item/control to do this.
Use Case: The user clicks on a link. After doing so, a PDF is generated and displayed on a new page. There is no right-click->Save As option or any buttons to interrogate because the displayed PDF uses the Adobe floating bar to click the save icon (which you cannot interrogate). Is there a workaround for this/control I do not know about?
(P.S. I am using Internet Explorer and do not have any Adobe add-ons/extensions configured)
Thanks!

You can use the SendKeys method on the ie frame control to send Ctrl+Shift+S. This shortcut key should bring up the save dialog for the pdf.
Similarly, you can interrogate the little gear icon on the ie frame, generate the menu items and click File -> Save As...

You should be able to access the menu items without using SendKeys. If you right-click the control for the gear icon or maybe the parent control, there should be an option to "Create Menu Items" then you should see a window open. After that, go back over to IE and right click the menu items and it should populate this window with those items. Then you can create the controls from there by checking the ones that you want to use.
