How to write PDF download options using playwright?

await page.locator('').click();
page.on('request', (request: Request) => {
    if (request.url().endsWith('.pdf')) {
      request.continue({ url: 'file:///path/to/save/file.pdf' });
    } else {
      request.continue();
    }
  });

You need to import Request from playwright

This feature request contains some useful information: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/7822

It also contains a workaround for Chromium (sorry it's JavaScript, somebody else will have to translate to Python):

await page.route('**/empty.pdf', async route => {
    const response = await page.context().request.get(route.request());
    await route.fulfill({
      response,
      headers: {
        ...response.headers(),
        'Content-Disposition': 'attachment',
      }
    });
  });

So it:

• Intercepts the requests for any PDFs with file name empty.pdf (you might want to change that)
• Then does the request to get the original response
• Then fulfils the request (returns the response) with a modified Content-Disposition to tell the browser to handle it as an attachment.
