To get the XPath of the element, bring up the web page to show that element on the screen. In my case, I hover the mouse over a section that shows a thumbnail image with some text underneath it. Right-mouse-clicking on this section opens a browser menu. This will open a new section of your web browser, with many fascinating and wonderful tools. What we are looking at now is the HTML code that makes up the webpage you are on.

Depending on your settings, the inspection window may be on the side of your webpage, underneath it, or in a separate window altogether. The HTML code that makes up the section of the webpage that we did the right-mouse-click on will be highlighted.

That part of the web page will highlight if you mouse over the HTML code. This opens another browser menu with many options. That copies the XPath to our clipboard. Now you can adapt this macro other collections of pdf files on the same site, or to other websites altogether.
