How to click element via Shadow DOM using VBA?

Having opened this link in Chrome, I get to the PDF file that opens in Chrome.
On this page there are buttons for downloading, printing, etc:
enter image description here

When viewing the page code, it does not display any information on the download and print buttons.
When I do view the code by hovering the mouse over the download icon, the code for this button opens, which is not available through a regular DOM.

As I understand it, you can use Shadow DOM here.

How do I access the download button and click it to the VBA? enter image description here

You could access the pdf by HTTP Request and save the data that way. The data is coming from the web, so it's going to be from a Request. You dont need chrome automated with VBA to do this action. Also Webdriver has good support: Downloading pdf file using WebRequests

idk if selenium has it, but i would search more if i were you and not use the DOM to download PDF by clicking elements.
