Save As vs Save as copy when saving a file on IE
Copy link to clipboard
Copied
Hi All,
I have a user that is attempting to save an invoice pdf on Internet Explorer.
I noticed that sometimes when clicking the "Save" icon on certain machines it opens as "Save As.." and sometimes the save window opens as "Save a Copy".
In each case the user is opening the same file and clicking the "Save" icon.
The reason this is significant is because this user is attempting to set up an automation using UiPath and click that "Save" button across all machines in the same way. On UiPath the elements are found via selectors and the selectors differ for that save button:
<wnd app='acrord32.exe' cls='#32770' title='Save As' />
<wnd app='iexplore.exe' cls='#32770' title='Save a Copy...' />
In both cases Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2018.011.20063
In both cases Adobe reader is set as the default application to open .pdf files.
Having the file already saved and resaving doesnt seem to make a difference - this happens regardless of wether a file with the same name is present at that location.
I have been unable to recreate this... Anyone have any ideas? Could this be due to discrepancies in IE versions?
Have something to add?
