    try using :-
    var $filename= _lastDownloadedFileName();
    and verify .pdf is present in the filename

    when fetching teh file name using a variable , its showing as "downloadData" , not the file name which i saved.
    Please help me.

    Try this:-
    _clearLastDownloadedFileName();
    var $downloadedFile= _lastDownloadedFileName();
    _saveDownloadedAs("D:\\folder\\"+$downloadedFile);

    Whether the below code is fine ? Correct me if i'm wrong ?

    var $downloadedFile= _lastDownloadedFileName();
    _saveDownloadedAs("C://Users//lakshmsn//Desktop//SVN//Trackers//Automation//RM//Sprint8//+$downloadedFile");
    _clearLastDownloadedFileName();
    _assertContainsText("/.*pdf/", $downloadedFile);

    use the script in below order
    _clearLastDownloadedFileName();
    var $downloadedFile= _lastDownloadedFileName();
    _saveDownloadedAs("C://Users//lakshmsn//Desktop//SVN//Trackers//Automation//RM//Sprint8//+$downloadedFile");
    _assertContainsText("/.*pdf/", $downloadedFile);

    if the last line script does not work, use substring to fetch ".pdf" and compare

    thanks for ur reply ashok.

    It dint work. Its taking file name as 'null' when validating the text.
    _assertContainsText("/.*pdf/", null);

    I guess none of the file is downloaded, and thats why the _lastDownloadedFile is showing as null.
    can you verify if actually file is getting downloaded.

    Can you please check if your "download_contenttypes.txt" file contains pdf ? if not the file download will not be recognised and lastDownloadedFile() returns null.
    The file is available at
