GUI: Save As PDF

Description

Save As PDF exports the active browser web page as a PDF document. Use this step when your workflow needs to generate a printable or archivable copy of a web page — for example, saving invoices, reports, or confirmation pages for record-keeping. You can configure the page layout (Portrait or Landscape), paper size (A0 through A5, Legal, Letter, or Tabloid), and choose whether to include headers, footers, and background graphics. The saved file can optionally be added to the workflow result on AutomationEdge. Note that this step is not supported on the Firefox browser.

Limitations: The step is not supported on the Firefox browser.
