Scripting "Add Link..."

Yes, I found the same methods (by Shane Stanley) here:

This script works for me (i.e., it saves the web contents of the DT tab as a PDF to the desktop):

use framework "/System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework"
use framework "Foundation"
use scripting additions

tell application id "DNtp"
	set thisTab to open tab for URL "https://kernel.org"
	repeat while loading of thisTab = true
		delay 1
	end repeat
	set pdfASData to PDF of thisTab
end tell

set pdfNSData to my dataFromASData:pdfASData
set pdfDoc to (current application's PDFDocument's alloc()'s initWithData:pdfNSData)

set posixPath to POSIX path of ((path to desktop as text) & "WritePDFTest.pdf")
set filePath to current application's NSString's stringWithString:posixPath
set fileURL to current application's NSURL's fileURLWithPath:filePath

set writeSuccess to pdfDoc's writeToURL:fileURL

on dataFromASData:asData
	return (current application's NSArray's arrayWithObject:asData)'s firstObject()'s |data|()
end dataFromASData:
