Hi everybody!
I need to check a .pdf file generated by our page. The system works like this: after you insert a new record, you have the option for print the data by clicking on a "print" button. If you click there, a new webpage will be opened with the pdf file.
My problem is that I dont know:
1) How to refer to the new webpage opened;
2) How to save the .pdf file, opened in a new windows of the browser, to any location (for after compare it with one that I have as benchmark)
Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

If the file is not downloading automatically, add
application/pdf
application/x-pdf
application/acrobat
applications/vnd.pdf
text/pdf
text/x-pdf
to
sahi/userdata/config/download_contenttypes.txt
Restart Sahi and the file should get downloaded. Based on the size of the file, give a _wait() after the click (that results in the download) before you use _lastDownloadedFileName etc.

Thanks for your help, I can successfully save the pdf file
Now I have another question: everytime that we do a click on "print", the pdf document is opened in a new IE window. We usually have near to 60 forms to print, so this cause that a lot of IE windows are opened causing problems. There is a way to close each IE window after the pdf was generated and saved?
Thanks,
