Until today I have been able to download data studio reports as pdfs and, with the exception of some content errors, it has always worked as expected. Now, rather than downloading as a pdf, the report opens as a pdf looking file with a blob:https:/ /datastudio.google.com/4138d etc. URL which according to Chrome is an insecure connection. Trying to download this file results in a "Network Error"
page that I get when selecting download as pdf
I have tried checking for malware on Chrome and cannot see anything wrong. I have also restarted my PC and refreshed data studio.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I agree with #wilburforcethebrave - all dashboards were downloading without an issue until yesterday and now receiving intermittent errors such as "blob:https:/ /datastudio.google.com/4138d"
Printing the dashboard as a PDF is helpful if the report is one page, but does not work for multiple pages.
I think I found a fix though so you can download Data Studio reports in Chrome.
Click the 3 dots next to your photo in chrome (right under the 'X' button on windows)
Go to 'Settings'
Select 'Privacy and Security' from the left side menu
Select 'Site Settings' from the presented menu
Under the 'Content' section, select 'Additional content settings'
Click 'PDF documents'
Click the 'Download PDFs' button
Changing this setting will download PDFs directly to your downloads folder without opening a separate PDF window in Chrome. To make sure your downloads folder is the default folder click 'Advanced' on the left side menu then click 'Downloads'. You can change your download location from here or turn on the option to have Chrome ask where to save with each download request.
Also, downloading the reports with another browser will work too. I did not have any issues downloading reports with Firefox.
I have been having the same issue with this today, and have found a work around. Instead of downloading it in the new tab that opens, click the print button instead. From the print menu, change the printer to "Save as PDF", and it should be able to save as normal. Not sure why we had this issue but this seemed to allow us to download it as a PDF.
I do not have any problem when I export multiple pages dashboard and print as pdf. I suggest you may want to check your pdf print driver within the browser itself.

I am constrained to use webdriver.Ie() only, for the .aspx page I am required to download the file from, opens only in Internet Explorer.
Can somebody show how to accept the 'save file' dialogue upon clicking download button?
Do you mean you are getting this kind of Save popup while clicking on the download button?
If yes then Selenium web driver does not provide any way to click the Save button on that popup.
You need to use any third-party library to click on the Save button on that popup.
To get more information, I suggest you refer to the links below.

This kind of issue may related to your IE security setting, try to add the related sharepoint site in trust site and try again:
Close your browser (if you don't and you have your SharePoint site up you'll get a bunch of script errors because of the change to access
levels).
Go to your Control Panel
Open Internet Properties
Select the Security tab.
Select Trusted Sites
Click Sites, and add the URL for your SharePoint site.

If the warning dialog is disappear, but when you open file still download. Then that behavior maybe defined by your browser. Try some other browser such as IE/Chrome/FireFox. Double check the integration/link of your browser and Word,Excel.
I have instructions to give to customers for how to send in har files for debugging SSO issues for all common browsers but Safari. Remote debug is not an option. My current instructions basically say "you can't do this on Safari"; I've seen others say this too.
I found this relatively recent stackoverflow post yesterday that says you can at least make the data persist now:
Safari Developer Tools: Preserve Network Log on Navigation
So now I need to export it. I found this link that gives some instructions, but at the last step, we don't see the 'copy all as HAR' selection.

Does anyone know how to export the browser network traffic on Safari? Am I missing something?
When you have the "Web inspector" visible in Safari and you're viewing the "Network" tab, the "Export" button at the top right will export a HAR file of the last loaded page.
You can also right click on a single request and click save to a file.
I have my resume linked in my home page.
But I found when I host the pdf file on two different storage server, the default behavior when click on the link differs: one directly download the pdf file bug the other preview in a new tab.
the two links are as below:

http://7xocv2.dl1.z0.glb.clouddn.com/doc/Zhao.Kai_ShanghaiUniv.pdf
I have tested on firefox chrome IE that this is not a browser issue.
For some price issue I have to switch to the storage server of which the default behavior is downloading pdf file.
what settings should I have so that click the pdf link then preview instead of downlod?
Additionally, the storage server provide a configure option that can set the "http header", I know little about the web, so can setting a header work, if so, how to ?
I googled it and it seems the content-disposition argument in http header account for this. But I add content-disposition='inline', doesn't help.
if not the browser's issue, then the download one is added programmatically with headers, and the preview one is just putting your file in that folder on the server
I have set up a webdav folder that I can access thorugh chrome and edit files and save them back to the server, for example, I can open a word doc, edit it and save it back.
When I come to open a pdf, it wont save back to the server and downloads a copy of the pdf instead of the original.
Is there a way of enabling this to edit a pdf?
My end goal is to be able to open a pdf, add comments/highlights and save it back to the server, through my browser.
Thank you
Edit:
I have set this up through Apache 2.4, no plug ins through chrome, I have mapped a network drive to the server folder where I can open and edit files. Except PDFs, I would like to add comments to a off but when I open one the option is greyed out and when I try and save it after opening it tries to save to my desktop.
I'm not sure i've got your use case right, but if i've understood you correctly you have a link in a web page to a PDF which you're viewing in chrome. You click on that link and the PDF downloads to a temp file from which it is opened. If you edit and save those changes are simply saved to the temp file on your local PC. Is that correct?
If so, then this is simply normal behaviour for links in web pages. There is absolutely nothing in the HTML standard which suggests links should be opened by an editor with knowledge of the source location.
What you really want is for the link to launch an editor program which retrieves the remote document in edit mode (probably locking the remote resource) and then have edits saved back to the server. For this to happen there generally needs to be some special interaction in the browser. In Internet Explorer this is provided by the sharepoint dll and special script code. I think there's a plugin for Chrome which does the same thing, although differently.
I havent used the Chrome plugin, but i think this might help - https://code.google.com/p/npapi-msdocs/
