I’m using Jsoup to parse some HTML to get some PDF url.

The PDF is shown in an <embed> tag like:

<html>
<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="background-color: rgb(38,38,38)">
<embed width="100%" height="100%" name="plugin" src="http://www.domain.com/apdf_id.pdf?tp=&amp;arnumber=1253069&amp;isnumber=28038" type="application/pdf">
</body>
</html>

How can I get the PDF URL from that page, so that I can download it to local machine?

    Just select the <embed type="application/pdf"> element and get its src attribute as absolute URL.

    String pdfURL = document.select("embed[type=application/pdf").first().absUrl("src");

    You could also select specifically the <embed name="plugin"> instead.

    String pdfURL = document.select("embed[name=plugin").first().absUrl("src");

    Then you can use java.net.URL to obtain it in flavor of InputStream.

    InputStream input = new URL(pdfURL).openStream();

    Finally just write it to an arbitrary OutputStream such as FileOutputStream the usual way.
