How to save as PDF on Chrome using Selenium

selenium

I am trying to automate "Save as PDF" of Chrome using selenium. As far as I know, It is not supported by Selenium. Therefore, I am trying to write my own piece of code. I am currently having an issue, that is, by clicking on the Print button on my webpage, it opens a new window with a printable area. I am trying to switch to this window using SwitchTo command. But it times out every time. How do I solve this?

You will need to disable the Chrome PDF plugin and download the print window with desired compatibilities.


DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();


cap.setCapability("download.default_directory","C:");


cap.setCapability("download.prompt_for_download","false");


cap.setCapability("directory_upgrade","true");


cap.setCapability("plugins.plugins_disabled","Chrome PDF Viewer");



WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(cap);


You can also add the options.AddArgument(“---printing”); to automatically click the print option.
