Simply:

  1. Create a text file then save it as example.vbs (with vbs extension).
  2. Copy and paste the code below:  
    Set args = WScript.Arguments

'// you can get url via parameter like line below
'//Url = args.Item(0)

 Url = "/mypdf.pdf"
dim xHttp: Set xHttp = createobject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
dim bStrm: Set bStrm = createobject("Adodb.Stream")
xHttp.Open "GET", Url, False
xHttp.Send

with bStrm
    .type = 1 '//binary
    .open
    .write xHttp.responseBody
    .savetofile "d:\DownloladPdf.pdf", 2 '//overwrite
end with
  3. Change the URL value. If you want to pass parameter you can just do it like this: example.vbs http://myurl.com/pdf2.pdf and uncomment Url = args.Item andremove Url = "/mypdf.pdf"
