Download PDF files from a website

[Henry]

I am trying to download some PDF files from a website.

I am using the IWebBrowser2::Navigate Method

m_WebBrowser.Navigate

to get to the site. This works ok and the requested PDF file is displayed in
the window.

Then I am trying to SAVE TO A DIRECTORY the downloaded PDF file that is
currently displayed.

I am using the IWebBrowser2::ExecWB Method

m_WebBrowser.ExecWB(OLECMDID_SAVE, 2, NULL, NULL);

This does not work as far as I can tell. Any ideas?

Right click the link and select 'Save As' and maybe a window
will pop up and ask you where you should save it to.

Maybe

I am currently using OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER in order to avoid any
keyboard intervention.

I am using m_WebBrowser.ExecWB(OLECMDID_SAVE, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER,
NULL, NULL);

so that the PDF files will be stored, one after another, automatically. I am
not sure what to put in place of the NULLs. There seems to be no info
available on this.
