In general, if you want to save the target of a link, you right-click on it and select to save the target of the link. – Anon. Feb 11 '10 at 20:40

Try this:

  • Go to 'Options'
  • Then go to the tab "Advanced"
  • Click "Clear Auto-opening settings"

The URL chrome://settings/advanced brings you to the same options page. – Niall Murphy Dec 2 '11 at 17:50

Google Chrome by default will save the file when it downloads usually it will be in "my documents/downloads" but if you want to save a PDF document in a specific folder simply right click the link and select "Save link as...".

Alternatively you can go to options then to the "Under the bonnet" tab then click the check box "ask where to save each file before downloading"
