Selenium webdriver to download pdf

Please look at the code below ( The pdf is embed in the website) I have to download using my selenium script. 

    <embed width="100%" height="100%" name="plugin" id="plugin" src="http://somewebsite/tulip.pdf" type="application/pdf" internalinstanceid="68" title="">

In the above html title = "" empty but when i hover on the embedded pdf download icon this value changes to title="Download" . How to use selenium to change this value automatically and download the pdf. Fyi I am using google chrome and unable to directly download pdf.

Get access to the download icon somehow:

WebElement downloadIcon = driver.findElement(By.tagName("embed"));

Extract the address of the PDF file:

String fileAddress = downloadIcon.getAttribute("src");

and then:

driver.get(fileAddress);
