How to download PDF that requires a button click to print #3083

Hey, on the website i scrape, I have a button that opens the PDF viewer in Chrome when clicked, there a workaround to do this without opening the viewer or something specially without automating the Chrome Viewer?
Also is i possible to change the file name before saving it? thanks!

None is the default value.
You have to set it to True.

You have to click on the file link directly to download it automatically when using external_pdf=True. If that isn’t working, then not sure.

I click on the "print" button when external_pdf=True and the normal chrome print webview is showing, nothing else is happening, I guess its again bug with windows

Hi,
The problem doesn't seem to be related to Windows.
I am using with SB(external_pdf=True, uc=True, locale_code="en", headed=True) as sb: on Linux and pdf are still displayed in the internal pdf viewer by Chrome.
