I'm creating a bot to download a pdf from a website. I used selenium to open google chrome and I can open the website window but I select the Xpath of the first item in the grid, but the click to download the pdf does not occur. I believe I'm getting the wrong Xpath.

I leave the site I'm accessing and my code below. Could you tell me what am I doing wrong? Am I getting the correct Xpath? Thank you very much in advance.

This site is an open government data site from my country, Brazil, and for those trying to access from outside, maybe the IP is blocked, but the page would be this:

    navegador = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)
    
    try:
        navegador.get("https://www.tce.ce.gov.br/cidadao/diario-oficial-eletronico")
        time.sleep(2)
    
        elem = navegador.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="formUltimasEdicoes:consultaAvancadaDataTable:0:j_idt101"]/input[1]')
        elem.click()
    
        time.sleep(2)
    
        navegador.close()
        navegador.quit()
    
    except:
        navegador.close()
        navegador.quit()

I think you'll need this PDF, right?:

<a  href="https://www.tce.ce.gov.br/downloads/Jurisdicionado/CALENDARIO_DAS_OBRIGACOES_ESTADUAIS_2020_N.pdf" target="_blank"><span >Estaduais</span></a>

You'll need to locate that element by xpath, and then download the pdf's using the "href" value requests.get("Your_href_url")

The XPATH in your source-code is //*[@id="menu-principal"]/div[2]/ul/li[5]/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/ul/li[14]/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/ul/li[3]/a but that might not always be the same.
