Since you are using macOS, give this Linux command a try.
</p><p>1. Open up your terminal
2. Run this command &gt;&gt;&gt; wget -r -A.pdf &lt;your html link here&gt;

</p>Yeah, this is all set. It's hard to explain the issue exactly.

It's hard to explain the issue exactly. I want it to open automatically in Adobe Acrobat, and for most PDF links it does do that automatically - it saves the file to my downloads folder, naming it automatically as the next number contract file (see first screenshot), and opens immediately.
</p><p>But for a certain type of PDF link, it by default does not read it as a pdf file, but rather a URL (I think), and so it opens that in Firefox PDF viewer. (second screenshot).
</p><p>From there, I then need to click download file, but then the save window pops up asking me what I want to name it, so it won't load automatically in Adobe and I have to name it something new every time. (third screenshot).

Make sure to save your files to 'Downloads', and set 'PDF' downloads to be automatically saved as a file.
You can look into my uploaded screenshot of the optimal settings for your scenario.
