how to save a .pdf file in a browser window in qtp

[ssvali]

Hi,

I need help how to save PDF file using QTP. It is a web-based application.

The following are the steps i need to perform to get the PDF.

1. Select Data from WebList
2. Click Refersh
3. Application opens a PDF File in a browser itself

When i am try to capture SAVE button of PDF, it capture whole toolbar instead of only SAVE button.

When i record it, it says Browser().Page().Frame().WinObject().Click X,Y

Awaiting for the earliest replies.

can you use shortcut keys on the page to save such as Ctrl+S??? If yes, try using sendkey/Type.

Thank you very much for ur replies...

@ Ankesh : - I tried using shortkeys "CTRL+S" , but it didn't worked.

@ freeboynil :- when i am trying to create Virtual Object, QTP throws an error "Failed to Create The Virtual Object Definition"

It will be helpful if you provide some detail about it.

Thanks ankesh for the reply.

I can see the address but not in the below mention format.
It shows only "http://www.google.com/"

[Ankesh]

Not a problem.

just update the line this WinHttp.Open "GET", "http://google.com/your_pdf_file.pdf", False


with the address which you can see. Try this once.
WinHttp.Open "GET", "http://google.com", False

---

let me know the output.
