I use Firefox Version 90 on macOS 11.5 and would like to download a pdf I can view via pdf.js. The link is https://www.laprensa.com.ni/wp-content/plugins/mix-eviewer/pdfjs/web/viewer.php?file=https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3.laprensa.com.ni-bq/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/LP20210622.pdf&dButton=false&pButton=false&oButton=false&v=1.2#zoom=auto (via https://www.laprensa.com.ni/epaper/2021/06/22).

How can I download the pdf (cache viewer do not exists anymore)? The direct link is https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3.laprensa.com.ni-bq/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/LP20210622.pdf as shown in Firefox Network Analyser. I tried wget to no avail.

    Maybe the Network Analyser shows any request headers that the server would pay attention to? Try the right-click "Copy as cURL" option?

  • I have to say that I am a noob in any of this. The right click to obtain the curl URL functions but do not know what to do with it.

    If you can view it in pdf.js, you should be able to go to file -> save page as ... and save it locally, just as any page you can display in firefox. But I'm on Windows, maybe there are differences in macOS

  • @1NN, can you try it yourself with your system? I cannot download the pdf with your solution. Just wondering if you can with yours. @ desbest, where do I find this folder on macOS?

Go to Settings. Search for "pdf". Scroll down in the applications window, and change the setting for "Portable Document Format (pdf)" to "Save file" (see image). Open your link, firefox will save your file. Afterwards, you can change your settings back.
