I have this code to go to Google and convert the page to a PDF.
# Program to go to Google and convert the page to a PDF
# But it saves in my downloads folder (I want it in a particular folder in the directory I ran this code)
from selenium import webdriver
import json
# Set up web driver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.headless = False
options.add_argument("--kiosk-printing")
settings = {
"recentDestinations": [{
"id": "Save as PDF",
"origin": "local",
"account": "",
'default_directory': 'folder' # This is the folder where i want to place my PDF (in the same directory as this
# file)
}],
"selectedDestinationId": "Save as PDF",
"version": 2,
}
prefs = {'printing.print_preview_sticky_settings.appState': json.dumps(settings)}
options.add_experimental_option('prefs', prefs)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="chromedriver.exe", options=options)
driver.get("https://google.com")
# This gets saved in my downloads folder
driver.execute_script("window.print();")
But I want it to be saved in the folder called "folder", which is in the same directory as this Python file. 'default_directory': 'folder' did not work.

On a webpage that contains multiple hyperlinks in Internet Explorer 11, you want to print a document and all its linked documents as separate pages. To do this, you click Print on the File menu, select the Options tab, select the Print all linked documents check box, and then click Print.
We can extract text from a webpage using Selenium webdriver and save it as a text file using the getText method. It can extract the text for an element which is displayed (and not hidden by CSS).
In this article, we will discuss ways to get the contents of the entire page using Selenium. There can broadly be two methods for the same. Let’s discuss them in detail. For extracting the visible text from the entire page, we can use the find_element_by_* methods which help us find or locate the elements on the page.
How can I capture network traffic of a specific page using Selenium? We can capture network traffic on a specific page using Selenium webdriver in Python. To achieve this, we take the help of the JavaScript Executor. Selenium can execute JavaScript commands with the help of the execute_script method.
Sometimes, we need a screenshot of a particular element on a page. There are two ways to capture the screenshot of a web element in Selenium- Take the fullscreen image and then crop the image as per the dimensions of the web element. Using the getScreenshotAs () method on the web element. ( This is available only in selenium version 4.X)
We can get the text from a list of all web elements with the same class name in Selenium webdriver. We can use any of the locators like the class name with method By.className, xpath with method By.xpath, or css with method By.cssSelector.
