Use Below

 

Sys.Keys("^s")  NOTE:Pdf PreviewWindow is infocus

 

By Pressing the Key,we can get save as popup window

 

so we can save it.

The problem with just using Sys.Keys() is that it depends upon the RIGHT window being in focus.

Map your preview window or otherwise access it and send the Keys method to that window...

...this is assuming that the application opens up your PDF in a standard PDF preview window and it's not embedded in some other frame or something.  If the PDF is displayed in some other frame, you might need to use some other method to do the save.  That is dependent upon the application implementation.  Without knowing more about your AUT, we can't give specific answers.
