In order to do this, you need to click on its icon, either on your desktop or Start menu. The icon is a red, green, and yellow outside circle with a blue circle in the middle.
Head to the Settings menu. Once the browser open, click on the box on the top-right side of the browser with 3 lines inside it. This will cause a drop-down menu to appear. Part 2. Decide if you want a default download folder. The first settings is where your downloaded files are saved to.
You select this if you want all downloaded files to be saved in one default folder. The default folder name will appear in the white box beside the option. You may want to change the folder you are saving your downloads to if you are sharing the computer with someone else. Decide if you want to select where each download gets saved.

This is a simple approach which is ideal for getting rid of a loading overlay for a file download which was triggered using onbeforeunload Thank you. Safari, some IE versions, etc. Chrome and other such browsers auto-download the files where this condition will fail. Lucky that is only by default. It is entirely possible a user of Chrome will specify where downloads should be saved and hence see the dialog box — ESR. Add a comment. Don't eval code inside setTimeout 'getstatus ', ;.

There are four known approaches to dealing with detecting when a browser download starts: Call fetch , retrieve the entire response, attach an a tag with a download attribute, and trigger a click event.
Modern web browsers will then offer the user the option to save the already retrieved file. There are several downsides with this approach: The entire data blob is stored in RAM, so if the file is large, it will consume that much RAM. For small files, this probably isn't a deal breaker.
The user has to wait for the entire file to download before they can save it. They also can't leave the page until it completes. The built-in web browser file downloader is not used.
A cross-domain fetch will probably fail unless CORS headers are set. The iframe fires a load event if a page loads in the iframe instead of starting a download but it does not fire any events if the download starts. Setting a cookie with the web server can then be detected by Javascript in a loop.
There are several downsides with this approach: The server and client have to work in concert. The server has to set a cookie. The client has to detect the cookie. Cross-domain requests won't be able to set the cookie. There are limits to how many cookies can be set per domain. Can't send custom HTTP headers. Use an iframe with URL redirection. The iframe starts a request and once the server has prepared the file, it dumps a HTML document that performs a meta refresh to a new URL, which triggers the download 1 second later.
The load event on the iframe happens when the HTML document loads. There are several downsides with this approach: The server has to maintain storage for the content being downloaded.
Requires a cron job or similar to regularly clean up the directory. The server has to dump out special HTML content when the file is ready. The client has to guess as to when the iframe has actually made the second request to the server and when the download has actually started before removing the iframe from the DOM. This could be overcome by just leaving the iframe in the DOM. The iframe triggers the download request. As soon as the request is made via the iframe, an identical request via XHR is made.
If the load event on the iframe fires, an error has occurred, abort the XHR request, and remove the iframe. If a XHR progress event fires, then downloading has probably started in the iframe, abort the XHR request, wait a few seconds, and then remove the iframe. This allows for larger files to be downloaded without relying on a server-side cookie. There are several downsides with this approach: There are two separate requests made for the same information.
The server can distinguish the XHR from the iframe by checking the incoming headers. If the server waits to send headers until the file data is ready, the XHR can roughly detect when the iframe has started to download even without CORS.
The client has to guess as to when the download has actually started to remove the iframe from the DOM. Can't send custom headers on the iframe.

I need help to figure out how i can download file such as PDF from a website that has no such option to download that PDF, is there a way i can do it?. Thanks in advance and looking forward for an answer from the community, and thanks for the support.!!!
Right click on the link. Otherwise, what browser do you have? Do you see the PDF in the browser or in another app? My concern is how i do to revert this and be able to download it even if there is no such option.
There's no such thing as a PDF file that can be viewed but can't be downloaded. If you can see it, you've already downloaded it to your computer, if only as a temporary file. So you need to either find a way to save it by right-clicking the link to it, as mentioned above, for example , or to find the path of the temporary file where it was saved to, and copy it from there. I just attached an image of what i can see from my browser, as you can see, there is no option where i can download this PDF and when i right click on it, there is no such option that allow me to download it.
Can you tell me how to solve this please. So, That is not a PDF. What makes you say that it is? In fact, that is a chrome browser. When i said " i do see the PDF in the browser ", i didnt mean i use chrome PDF viewer nor any type of app to see it, instead it literally means that the PDF is showed in my browser which in fact is chrome, dunno if this is understandable. It's a little hard for me to explain it if you didnt understand.
Go to the Page Source and search for ". Copy the link to the browser's URL field, or use a downloader to get the file. Hey man did you solved this problem. Can you share the solution. I'm facing the same problem,i eant to download the pdf but i cant. Please can you help. The document can only be scrolled up and down but not able to download the doc I think downloading is locked.
