Hello Niharika,

Use Read/Write Files from Disk node with write option on disk, it will allow you to specific location to save file. I have attached the screenshot.
I hope it will help you.

Hey, i have tried to use read write its executing and giving output but its not saved in local disk folder.


I want to save this pdf in my folder C:\N8N

You have used wrong path
it should be C://N8N/{{file_name}}

Its advisable to use other than C drive for windows, as C: used for system application.

I have test on my local and its working file, attached screenshot for the same

Please let me know if you still face any difficulty.
