Shortcuts working for anyone on Monterey?

[matt_and_187_like_this]

Hi,
I played around with the shortcuts app on Monterey and made some attempts to create one to save articles as a pdf to a folder, but either nothing happens (it runs and says done, though) or it says 'safari reader not available'.
Any ideas?

Well over 'here' on a 2018 Intel Mac Mini running MacOS 12 beta 3 the 'check out the Gallery' link does not work.

Like I had my Monterey beta running partitioned with Big Sur on my M1 MacBook Air and I had this Automator Shortcut which does allow you to open articles. From that Automator shortcut, you should be able to import it to the Shortcuts app. Here is the link to how to get that feature (hope it works): https://www.macworld.com/article/207727/open-webpages-automator.html

I have an Automater script as well, although it needs some adjustments for Monterey. I couldn't figure out how to implement it in a shortcut, however.

It automatically saves the current web page in reaeder view as a pdf to a specified folder:
set SaveFolderPath to "/Users/............"
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
click menu item "Show Reader" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
click menu item "Export as PDF…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
repeat until exists sheet 1 of window 1
delay 0.02
end repeat
keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down}
repeat until exists sheet 1 of sheet 1 of window 1
delay 0.02
end repeat
tell sheet 1 of sheet 1 of window 1
set value of combo box 1 to SaveFolderPath
click button "Go"
end tell
click button "save" of sheet 1 of window 1
click menu item "Close Tab" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell

I wished before I uninstalled the Monterey Beta I figured out how to import Automator Scripts to Shortcuts. I have this Automator script which reopens my default Safari Tabs just in case I accidentally close a windows.
