Automatically save pages to PDF from Selenium (OS X)

[Gregory Dudek]

I would like to automatically save selected pages to PDF when specific test conditions arise.

OS X includes a print to PDF option in the print driver, but the system print dialog includes a "print" (acknowledgement) button that I

do not seem to be able to click from Selenium.  Has anybody determined how to do this? 

I am using Chrome, but would be OK with a solution that another browser, although a system-agnostic solution would be idea.

You might be able to do it with AppleScript if you can figure out what to execute. Or something like this:

if you knew what to execute again. But perhaps better to do what Krishnan mentioned. But not sure if just pulling the page (HTML) source then running that through PDF generator will give you the desired output because it might not render correctly with images too. So you might need to pass that through HTML2PDF solution.
