The means for Applescript to entry the PDF menu button from the Chrome Print window modified in Sonoma


So, because of @benwiggy, I discovered that the UI modified in Sonoma. So I spent a while attempting to determine how to determine what factor the PDF button is in Sonoma.

I discovered this reply on stackexchange to be helpful:

How one can enumerate the UI components in applescript

You can even use UIBrowser3, which is extra handy than the AppleScript methodology.

I found that the PDF button is now:

menu button 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of window "Print"

Which results in the revised (and dealing) code:

    inform utility "System Occasions"
        inform course of "Chrome"
            set frontmost to true
            delay 1
            
            # Open the print dialog
            keystroke "p" utilizing {command down, possibility down}
            
            
            
            # Wait till the Print dialog opens earlier than continuing
            set repeatcount to 0
            repeat till exists window "Print"
                set repeatcount to repeatcount + 1
                if repeatcount > 50 then
                    show dialog "Print window not detected"
                finish if
            finish repeat
            
            key code 48 # ship tab character to go to first web page
            key code 48 # ship tab character to go to final web page
            keystroke "1" # make web page 1 final web page
            key code 48 # tab to scale field
            keystroke "90" # set scale to 90    
            #set UIElems to UI components of group 2 of splitter group 1 of window "Print"
            #show dialog UIElems
            # Develop the "PDF" menu button (have to be expanded earlier than the menu is referencable)
            click on menu button 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of window "Print"
            
            # Wait till the Menu button menu is created earlier than continuing
            #delay 2
            repeat till exists menu merchandise "Save as PDF…" of menu 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of window "Print"
            finish repeat
            # Choose the "Save as PDF" menu merchandise
            click on menu merchandise "Save as PDF…" of menu 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of window "Print"
            
            # Wait till the Save dialog opens earlier than continuing
            repeat till exists button "Save" of sheet 1 of window "Print"
            finish repeat
            
            # Paste the filename in  and Save
            
            set worth of textual content subject 1 of sheet 1 of window "Print" to SaveFileName
            
            click on button "Save" of sheet 1 of window "Print"
            

As @benwiggy factors out, this can be lower than optimum, as a result of the logical construction of the consumer interface components can change at any time (as proven by Sonoma), however it’s helpful for my utility and for infrequent scripting.
