Hi,

to enable download prompt, use this code:

```auto
Map chromePrefs = new HashMap<>()chromePrefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", true)System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", DriverFactory.getChromeDriverPath())ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions()options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs)WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options)

```

But I am afraid that neither Katalon nor Selenium is able to handle such popups as download prompt. What do you want to achieve? If you want custom download location, you can use

```auto
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", "C:\\whatever")

```

and set download prompt to false.

I am not sure if I understand. You want to download PDF file, but when you hit a link to view/download, a new tab is opened with PDF content (PDF is directly opened in a browser)?

Can I see your test case? And, if possible, also HTML element you click to download your file.

I found one more chrome option which may help you. Add this one:

```auto
chromePrefs.put("plugins.always_open_pdf_externally", true)

```

Hi everybody.

I tried to do something similar to the camera permissions in Chrome. Did somebody had this problem and solve it using capabilities? Maybe start without ask for camera and mic permissions.

Thanks
