Take a screenshot of a Web page - for multiple elements

[Jameelrrf]

Hi,

I'm using an action in PAD called "Take a screenshot of a Web page" with "Specific element" as an option.  This works fine as expected.

However, wondering if I want to extend this functionality to take a snap of multiple elements and not just one, something like customized screenshot of two elements (say for two div elements with different ids) or a partial page.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

You cannot accomplish this directly, but once you take screenshots of multiple elements as separate images, you may use a scripting language like C# or any other language to merge them.

@Deenuji , Thanks for your response.  Would you point me to any article or the steps to merge the images with any scripting language within PAD.

Interesting ask:) I have explored this option as part of your request so thanks 🙂

Please follow the below approach:

PAD flow code:

SET inputImage1 TO $'''C:\\Boot\\1.png'''
SET inputImage2 TO $'''C:\\Boot\\2.png'''
SET outputImage TO $'''C:\\Boot\\MergedImage.jpg'''
@@copilotGeneratedAction: 'True'
Scripting.RunPowershellScript.RunPowershellScript Script: $'''# Function to check if an assembly is loaded
function Is-AssemblyLoaded {
    param (
        [string]$assemblyName
    )
    
    $loadedAssemblies = [AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() | ForEach-Object { $_.GetName().Name }
    return $loadedAssemblies -contains $assemblyName
}

# Check if System.Drawing is loaded, if not, load it
if (-not (Is-AssemblyLoaded -assemblyName \"System.Drawing\")) {
    try {
        Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
        Write-Output \"System.Drawing assembly loaded successfully.\"
    } catch {
        Write-Error \"Failed to load System.Drawing assembly: $_\"
        exit
    }
} else {
    Write-Output \"System.Drawing assembly is already loaded.\"
}


# Define paths to the images
$image1Path = \"%inputImage1%\"
$image2Path = \"%inputImage2%\"
$outputPath = \"%outputImage%\"


try {
    # Load the images
    Write-Output \"Loading Image 1 from $image1Path\"
    $image1 = [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile($image1Path)

    Write-Output \"Loading Image 2 from $image2Path\"
    $image2 = [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile($image2Path)

    # Determine the dimensions of the merged image
    $width = [Math]::Max($image1.Width, $image2.Width)
    $height = $image1.Height + $image2.Height

    # Create a new bitmap to hold the merged image
    Write-Output \"Creating a new bitmap with dimensions $width x $height\"
    $mergedImage = New-Object System.Drawing.Bitmap($width, $height)

    # Create a graphics object to draw the images onto the bitmap
    $graphics = [System.Drawing.Graphics]::FromImage($mergedImage)

    # Draw the first image
    Write-Output \"Drawing Image 1\"
    $graphics.DrawImage($image1, 0, 0, $image1.Width, $image1.Height)

    # Draw the second image below the first image
    Write-Output \"Drawing Image 2\"
    $graphics.DrawImage($image2, 0, $image1.Height, $image2.Width, $image2.Height)

    # Save the merged image
    Write-Output \"Saving the merged image to $outputPath\"
    $mergedImage.Save($outputPath, [System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat]::Jpeg)

    # Clean up
    $image1.Dispose()
    $image2.Dispose()
    $mergedImage.Dispose()
    $graphics.Dispose()

    Write-Output \"Merged image saved to $outputPath\"
} catch {
    Write-Error \"An error occurred: $_\"
}''' ScriptOutput=> PowershellOutput

How to copy/paste the above code into PAD?
