How to download a PDF file from a website that is not downloadable?

What I have done so far:
URL url = new URL(linkOfThePDFFile);. String PDFData=url.getContent(); //I use this and it works fine InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(PDFData.getBytes()); But this method doesn't always work. I use the link of the download file with no problem using another page that has links to all kind of pdf files. But it doesn't work if the pdf link is of a company webpage or other webpages like in this case the "FINALISTES FEMMES - PDF" website (). I really don't know why it happens. Does anyone have some tips?
Thanks for your help. Try URL myurl=new URL("");. URLConnection u = myurl.openConnection(); u.connect(); //this is the important line to trigger downloading on the browser.

InputStream in=u.getInputStream(); //read bytes, close streams, etc.

How do I download an embedded PDF from Chrome?

How do I download a PDF that's embedded on a web page in Chrome? The web page isn't using a link to download a file. The page is a list of events and I would like to download the PDF if one of the events is a certain date.

I could try to use Greasemonkey, but I'd prefer not to modify the page and only download the files I want. After much trial and error, I found a solution that works for me. The PDF doesn't have a "View file" option like you see in most browsers. To get a list of the attachments of the web page, open devtools, go to Network tab, and click on the link that opens up that contains the pdf file you want to download. On that specific link, look at the bottom. You'll see this.
Save Page As . Which will tell you there's a link with that name. Right-click on it and select Open in Download Window.

You can also do this from the command line. It's just like any other file you want to save.pdf

For those using Firefox or Thunderbird (eg Google email), they provide a feature called 'download attachments' under the Advanced > More options menu. However, it doesn't work for chrome.

The only solution seems to be to use the 'Download as' option provided by some browsers, but Chrome doesn't provide that.
