This is a simple solution but unfortunately not very widely supported, esp. Yep, I know right. That's why I have the side-note on compatibility. And according to your source both IE and Safari don't support this approach, or at least not yet : Anyhow, if you want all browsers to force download I suggest checking some of the other answers instead The solution is easy but unfortunately not supported in IE and Safari.

Could be used by an attacker to attempt to scan your internal network for exposed PDF files. Not to mention how easy it would be to bypass any "sanity checks" you think you'll be doing to the "file" parameter.

Not sure why you say you are using Chrome, FyTg. Thanks for the help, i could solve the problem doing a different thing. By clicking show thumbnails, then print, then save as PDF i can now download it. You don't need to do all that.
If you're using FireFox, just use the download button, that's what it's for! Apparently there are ways to lock down the download feature. I've attached the example I am currently struggling with for your information.
I am sorry the right click menu is in German, but trust me when I say that there is no download option there either. Let me know if you have any other ideas. That doesn't look at all like that. And Chrome doesn't allow any other PDF viewer.
From this we can conclude that this is not a PDF at all. It's a web site designed to offer something in pages, and so it's easily mistaken for a PDF. It might have been a PDF back on its web site in China, but that isn't what is delivered to you. Hence, this discussion does not apply. I have no idea if you can save it, because I don't know what facilities you have for saving something on a secure web site that isn't a PDF. Thank you for clarifying!
I still don't believe that "just hit the download button" is a good answer to the question "[how can I] download [a] PDF from a website that has no such option to download that PDF". Obviously FyTg is not a "techie" user and getting into the intricacies of how that PDF file he is viewing is not being served to him a PDF is not gonna solve his problem.
I never use Chrome, but I just opened it and checked settings. To set Chrome to download pdf files rather than opening them in the Chrome viewer, open Settings, click on Privacy and security, then Site Settings. Find Permissions and click on Additional permissions at the bottom of that section. Scroll way down the page to Additional content settings where you'll find PDF documents as the fourth entry. That's cleverly hidden setting deep in the bowels of Chrome will solve your problem in that browser.
Firefox makes this easier. Go to General settings and scroll a little more than halfway down the page to Applications. Choose your desired outcome for that item in the right column. I'm not sure of the diffence between the left column choices, so I'd set them both. Edge seems to be the easiest of all. Click on Cookies and site permissions. Scroll way down to PDF documents and click.
Then toggle Always download PDF files on or off. Hi, I have the same problem.
