Hi @Anonymous

You can try out the below

1. Open the image in Paint application

2. Press Ctrl P using send keys to bring the print dialog box
'Microsoft Print to PDF is already selected as the Default printer in Step 1.

3. Spy the Print button and click on it

4. This will now show the Save As Dialog box

Give the output folder path
Make sure to select pdf in the save as dropdown if not already selected

5. In the destination directory you should see a PDF file with the image

When I give the arguments as .jpg file, I am getting the error message as given below:

I don't know what is the mistake is. Please help

Actually I missed out the double quotes, now the jpg file is getting open. But next step is to open the printer dialog box.

I am using the send keys to open up the printer window but actually not getting printer window open.
Is that any mistake I am doing?

Hi @Anonymous

I used the below line in the send keys and it shows up the Print dialog box
{Control}({P})

Since you are using Sendkeys make sure to use "Focus Window" and "Wait" actions wherever applicable.

Post back if you are facing any issues.

Now I can run till Save as dialog box. Can I use "Populate text field window" for providing output folder path?
Or any other options there for providing the folder path?

Hi @Anonymous

Its difficult to tell without taking a look at the selectors you have chosen.
Make sure the selectors nowhere has any information that is points to only the 1st image file or window.

This is for the Print button.
Select only the check box that says button and the 2 checkboxes to the right.

For the main window make sure you do not check the box that contains the image file name and extension
