"Save Target As" Test Page
Open PDF Document - Sample PDF document for testing. When you install an Acrobat PDF product on a system that includes a browser, you automatically configure the browser to open PDF files within the browser window. If no Acrobat PDF Plug-In is installed, the link open as normal download.
Play Video - Plays a short sample movie. By default, this type of files (MPEG, MPE, ASF, AVI, ...) are opened in the Windows Media Player instead of download. The "Save Target As" feature can be used to automate the download.
Some file types, like PDF or AVI are typically displayed inside a browser or a third-party
application when you click on them. The reason for this is that on most Windows
computer systems so called "viewers" are installed for these file types. If such
an this Plug-In is installed, Internet Explorer attempts to display any document
of the specific file type inside the browser instead of downloading it. You would
manually download these documents by right-clicking on the document link and selecting
the "Save Target As" command. iMacros can automate these "Save Target As" downloads
for you:
- Click on the link normally. A TAG command is recorded, for example
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Open
PDF Document - After the recording is complete, open the macro and edit this TAG line to: TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Open
PDF part tells IM, that instead of a normal mouse click, IM simulates now the "Save Target As" command of Internet Explorer.Document CONTENT=EVENT:SAVETARGETAS The "EVENT:SAVETARGETAS" - If you want to use your on path and file names, add an
ONDOWNLOAD command to the macro: ONDOWNLOAD FOLDER=c:\pdf-documents
FILE=+_timetag_{{!NOW:yyyymmdd_hhnnss}} TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Open
PDF Document CONTENT=EVENT:SAVETARGETAS
