Hi,  
I want to download pdf file from url and want to strore that file in local folder in perspective.  
I have tried OpenUrl and download function but it is not working.  
e.g. [https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf)  
This is dummy pdf file url .  
How can I download this pdf file in perspective?

If you just need to download and save it somewhere then you can something like Paul suggested here: [Saving a file to local path from an Amazon S3 bucket via URL](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/saving-a-file-to-local-path-from-an-amazon-s3-bucket-via-url/38843/2)
