How to download a pdf file in chrome using selenium webdriver

Question

I want to download pdf in chrome using selenium.

System.setProperty(\"webdriver.chrome.driver\", System.getProperty(\"user.dir\")  
               + System.         


        

Answer 1

You would need to add below statement to your chrome profile:

chromePrefs.put("pdfjs.disabled", true);

It seems that newer versions of browsers are coming with built-in ability of displaying PDF files inside browser. Refer this for more information, though it is for firefox profile but still a good read.

Hope that solves your issue, else you may need to downgrade your chrome to make it work. Let me know if you have any queries.
