Save as PDF in Chrome | Testmate | Selenium
Since the print pane is a desktop window in all the browsers, Save as PDF can not be automated using Selenium. People try to use different chrome options, AutoIt or Robot class to handle such scenarios but that does not always work.
Such scenarios can be easily handled using Testmate and can be triggered from your existing automation via command line.
Here is the sample code for it
