How can I download a PDF file from Google Drive?

I've got this PDF file: I'd like to download it to my computer. Is there a way to do that?

If the owner has disabled printing and downloading for a file, you cannot directly download it. The following is an untested and very fiddly method which may work:

• Click 'Add to My Drive' at the top-right
• Open your drive
• Right-click the file, select 'Move to' and move it to your computer (requires the Drive desktop app)
• Copy the file out of the Drive folder on your computer

For this particular file, each page is just an image. By opening the viewer (the link you posted) and pressing CtrlShiftI or F12, opening the Network tab and downloading each of the PNG images (you may need to reload the PDF tab for the images to appear).
