Automator workflow question?

Question

I tried to create a workflow in automator but I had no luck so far. So I need some help to create an automator workflow for;
go to a specific web page and save the page as pdf to desktop and than close the safari.
I've tried as "record/watch what I do" in automator but when I click on the safari on dock the "watch me" script misses it and presses mail.app
Help please. Thanks in advance.

Give this one a try - it uses a *Run AppleScript* action to script Safari's print dialog:
1) *Get Specified URLs* (drag URL here - only the last one will be saved)
2) *Display Webpages*
3) *Run AppleScript*: <pre style="</div>
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 680px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"

on run {input, parameters} -- save the current Safari page as PDF
waitForPage()
tell application "Safari"
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "p" using {command down} -- activate the Print... menu item
delay 0.25
click menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window 1 of application process "Safari" -- open the PDF menu
