[NODRIVER] configure nodriver browser to automatically download PDFs instead of opening them in browser

[abhash-rai]

Below script opens a download url to a pdf but it just opens the url (which is the default chrome behaviour-opening PDF in viewer) instead of downloading it. How do I modify below to set it to download instead? Thanks!

import asyncio
import nodriver as uc

async def crawl():    

    browser = await uc.start(headless=False)
    await browser.get("https://www.hkmj.org/system/files/hkmj166018.pdf")

    while True:
        await asyncio.sleep(0.2)  # Keep the event loop alive

if __name__ == '__main__':
    uc.loop().run_until_complete(crawl())

Hello, I have a very stupid method, you can try to manually set up the browser to open the pdf in a fixed user_data_dir, and then use this user directory every time you start it.
