Chrome download to pdf server problems & SW19

We have recently upgraded both of our seats to 2019. In doing so, we also had to upgrade our PDM software as well. We run PDM standard.

Since then, I can not download anything from Google Chrome to any of the PDM server locations. For instance, I can not download anything from McMaster directly into a directory located on our PDM server.

According to our VAR, the PDM server does not play well with Chrome or, basically, any other internet program other than IE. But I despise IE and I can not figure out how to have IE allow me to save a download where I want per download instance. It will only allow me to choose one folder (Downloads).

Personally, I think the answer of the server not playing nice with Chrome is a hogwash answer. Has anyone else experienced this and know how to correct?

Also - I can't seem to save as a pdf either (I don't like the "print to pdf" option). Doesn't matter if it is on the pdm server or not.
