I have a c# program which is searching for files in a web site and I've managed to reach to a page which has the pdf embedded

The link for that page is something like the following

https://<somesite>/GetPdf.aspx?w=OgKRY780WZSjZ3jDC1L2Ir8qK0l96Wl1SyFrU3OHY0yt809FEB588LqCB7F%2f8PsWmYrZM0TR%2fb8Y9x3Suu8ju%2bZ%2f3kZTsJ%2bu5eONMKcu8n8sjxe4IkKD5jjc1N0uBDm%2fAjowXGSJKW%2fQhauxrfD2TawYVDAn2iIydlByTcmk4iJLd1xFJgsWlnwmW9J7nHi2DhvrEVBK82XGwwCKdsT7%2bg%3d%3d

And Selenium shows this as page source:

My code is as following

var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArguments("--incognito");
options.AddArgument("--start-maximized");
ChromeDriver cd = new ChromeDriver(@"C:\Temp\chrome", options);
cd.Url = @"Somesite/login.aspx"; cd.Navigate();
...
e.Click();
IWebElement ifamepdf = divform.FindElement(By.TagName("iframe"));
string src = ifamepdf.GetAttribute("src");
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.DownloadFile(new Uri(src), @"c:\temp\teste6.pdf");
wc.Dispose();
IWebElement ifameembed = cd.FindElement(By.TagName("embed"));
string source2 = cd.PageSource;
Console.WriteLine(source2);
