automatically download PDF

[waterblast]

Is there any possible way to automatically download a PDF opened by a website instead of using the built-in PDF viewer?

I need to save the PDF with a manually given name, instead of the .PDF name

I'm using WinForms visual studio 2019.

I really dont know where to start, any help would be loveley

Friendly regards.

If you run with the "--disable-pdf-extension" command-line flag then loading a PDF file will trigger a download and show the Save As dialog.

That's great to hear!

Is there any possible way to automate the process of downloading the file? Instead of showing the Save As Dialog?

You can implement CefDownloadHandler.

We use "--disable-pdf-extension" for opening a PDF files in system default PDF viewer (silently download PDF to temp and then open in Adobe Reader). Everything works great. Now we need to print website with Print Preview ("--enable-print-preview") and we found, that Print Preview doesn't work with "--disable-pdf-extension". With "--disable-pdf-extension" appears only standard windows print dialog.

cefclient with "--enable-print-preview --disable-pdf-extension" works the same.

We found issue about modify response, that can resolve problem with PDF handling: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/2785 but it is not closed.

Is there any possible way to automatically download a PDF instead of using the built-in PDF viewer and keep Print preview working?

Thank you!

Print preview requires the PDF viewer. Issue 2785 that you linked looks like the best solution for you.
