Save As PDF Chrome using selenium

I am looking to automate "Save as PDF" of Chrome using selenium. AFAIK it is not supported by the Selenium out of the box. Therefore, i am trying to write my own. I am having an issue. Actually clicking on the Print button in my webpage opens a new window with printable area. I am trying to switch to this window using SwitchTo. But it is timing out always.

You could try to disable the Chrome PDF plugin and download promt window with desired capabilities. Something like this:

DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
cap.setCapability("download.default_directory","C:");
cap.setCapability("download.prompt_for_download","false");
cap.setCapability("directory_upgrade","true");
cap.setCapability("plugins.plugins_disabled","Chrome PDF Viewer");

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(cap);

You can add the options.AddArgument("--kiosk-printing"); to have it automatically click the print button.

That is working for me but I have a problem setting the printer to Save as PDF. It is printing to the printer instead.
