How to Save in PDF Format Selenium (Python)

Question

I'm using selenium to automate some pdf files downloads. However, I ran into a problem where I need to click on the save button in the following pop up window.

I couldn't find any method to click on the save button using Selenium. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

did you try to click Enter using Selenium or configure your browser so it would start download without prompt? — rokpoto.com

If you use gecko driver

from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_porfile import FirefoxProfile()
profile = FirefoxProfile()
# Save pdf without asking
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/pdf")

You can find other files subtitles
