Hi @Tammy1998,

Help me understand the behaviour you are seeing by answering the following:

  1. When you initiated the HTTP request, does the web browser responded by showing you a PDF in a web page ?

  2. Does the web browser URL ends with .aspx ?

  3. Does the web browser prompts you to download the PDF with a pop-up, etc. ?

  1. i didn’t check if the browser responded.
  2. yes it does end with .aspx
  3. it didn’t prompt me to download the pdf.

Hi @Tammy1998,

Is there a button or something that you click to start the download ?

hi. @GreenTea

and yes there is a download button but it is hidden.

Hello Tammy,
In this video, you can see how I download files from multiple systems (Maybe this will help you with your issue):
