Hi,

It’s not a keyword it’s chrome startup option. Found several issues on forums and all, but finally this worked for me :

```
${browser_prefs} Create Dictionary download.default_directory=_yourfolder plugins.always_open_pdf_externally=${True}
${chrome_options}= Evaluate sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions() sys, selenium.webdriver
Call Method ${chrome_options} add_argument --log-level\=3
Call Method ${chrome_options} add_experimental_option prefs ${browser_prefs}

```

Then Open Browser with options :

```
  Open Browser url chrome options=${chrome_options}

```

- **Note** : The -log-level is not necessary, it’s just an example if you have to add other arguments/options (gpu, sandbox…) to your ${chrome\_options}.
- **Note** : for _yourfolder_, depending of your OS you could use ${/} for path (have it working on Windows and Linux for example)

This will the PDF downloaded where it should normally open in a new tab.

Best Regards.

Charlie
