Unable to download a pdf

It's a web site designed to offer something in pages, and so it's easily mistaken for a PDF. It might have been a PDF back on its web site in China, but that isn't what is delivered to you. Hence, this discussion does not apply. I have no idea if you can save it, because I don't know what facilities you have for saving something on a secure web site that isn't a PDF.

Thank you for clarifying! I still don't believe that "just hit the download button" is a good answer to the question "[how can I] download [a] PDF from a website that has no such option to download that PDF". Obviously FyTg is not a "techie" user and getting into the intricacies of how that PDF file he is viewing is not being served to him a PDF is not gonna solve his problem.

I never use Chrome, but I just opened it and checked settings. To set Chrome to download pdf files rather than opening them in the Chrome viewer, open Settings, click on Privacy and security, then Site Settings.

That's cleverly hidden setting deep in the bowels of Chrome will solve your problem in that browser. Firefox makes this easier. Go to General settings and scroll a little more than halfway down the page to Applications. Choose your desired outcome for that item in the right column. I'm not sure of the diffence between the left column choices, so I'd set them both. Edge seems to be the easiest of all.

Click on Cookies and site permissions. Scroll way down to PDF documents and click. Then toggle Always download PDF files on or off. Hi, I have the same problem. Can you plz help me to download this file? Mikel, please show a complete screen shot of your browser window, if you can.
