Open Microsoft Edge full screen, Screenshot, close Edge

Posted on by KeithD

My goal: Open a URL in Edge in Full Screen and screenshot it,

In PAD if I use 'Run Application' I can put the URL along with --kiosk in the command line arguments and the URL opens in full screen as required,

How ever I can not then find anyway to take control of this instance of Edge and use the 'Take screenshot of web page' Action

If I use the 'Launch new Microsoft Edge' Action I can not use the --kiosk switch in any way I have found so can not open full screen,

I can use the 'Run Application' option and then use 'Take Screenshot' Action but this risks other things being caught in the image as you can only specify foreground window or a screen,

This is what I currently have in place

Anyone have any suggestions on tweaking this?

Hmm.. isn't it just enough to launch edge, then send F11 key to enter full screen, and take a screenshot?
But why do you need to open it in full screen anyway since you can use 'Take screenshot of web page' to do just that - capture the page only, without any other screen elements?

Finally come back around to this, it has been working as i have it set but has that risk of something getting in the way if left on screen,

If i use 'Open Edge' 'Take screenshot of web page' and save to file as a PNG it is cut short,
It seems to only capture what is in view rather than the full page.
