When I use this script after install google-chrome and chromedriver:
$ python -m GooglePatentsPdfDownloader EP0551921B1 --driver /usr/bin/chromedriver
I get the error message:
1 patent(s) remaining.

(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
How to remove this error and download pdf from google patents?
It works for me when running on Windows. Have you checked that the chromedriver.exe is the correct one, i.e., it can used for your Chrome version? I tested this for Chrome version 99.
So, this tool only use in the wndows system? My system is ubuntu server, and chrome version is 99.0.4844.82
Yes, on Windows, it should work. I am not able to verify this on Ubuntu right now. I'll let you now once I have tried this.
Also not working on Linux for me.
