Anyone know how to tell Safari to download a pdf at something like http://www.xyz.com/file.pdf, to the downloads directory?
I can get it to load into the Safari window, and if I could save it from there, that might work. Can't even seem to do that at the moment.
But I would rather download it directly into the desired place like you are able to from the contextual menu, Save Linked File As:.
Thanks for any tips.

Safari probably isn't the best tool for this.
I'd try something like this:
set theURL to "http://www.xyz.com/file.pdf";
do shell script "curl " & theURL & " -o ~/Downloads/file.pdf"
Hope that helps,
Kevin
