Ok so I want to download this embedded PDF/document in order to physically print it. The website allows me to view it as much as I want, but is asking me to fork over 25 + tax USD so i can download the document.
Obviously, i don’t want to do that, so I try to download the embedded document via inspect element. But, the weird thing is it not actually loading a pdf, but like really small pictures of each page:
So, my question is basically how can I download this document in order to print it?
import time
import os
import subprocess
pages = dialog.input_dialog(title='', message='Number of pages:', default='5').data
time.sleep(1)
for k in range(1,int(pages)):
subprocess.run(["xdotool", "key", "ctrl+1"]) # Plugin's hotkey
time.sleep(2)
subprocess.run(["xdotool", "click", "1"]) # Mouseclick
time.sleep(2)
subprocess.run(["xdotool", "key", "ctrl+1"]) # to screenshot the last one
In the bottom of a program, set a hotkey to launch it (I set it to Home).
Place mouse pointer over next page button, so it clicks each time.
Lauch my Autokey script via Home button.
Enter number of pages.
See how it does it.
Open screenshots directory in XnView, select them. Locate it’s BatchConvert tool, in Actions tab select a crop action and adjust it to pages’ margins. ACHTUNG The last one should be done differently, you can open it in XnV and crop this one alone.
Use any tool to stitch them back together into a PDF. I’ve used PDF Arranger: https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger But some user down there said it crashed on 600-something pages document.

FOR LINUX, COMPLETE AND WORKING

They say the op has magic powers!
Compatible with any system? AFAIK autohotkey is windows-only
Damn, you are right.
I’ve found this Q-A thread about alternatives for Linux: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/533392 I’d need to look into it.
Good god XnV and plugins aren’t.
Upd: AutoKey works. Scripts are on Python.
Got any suggestions for image-to-pdf tools? The ones i’ve tried online all break after 300 pages or so

On the top there’s a button to import - Select images you want to add - Save as.
Turns out putting 602 jpeg files into any program is likely to make it freeze up.
In the end it made it?
I waited about 20 minutes and it eventually crashed. No luck.
Dammit. Are you on Windows? I can drop some pirated Acrobat for you to try.
600 seems like an overkill, maybe you can try to add a 100 at a time?
Somehow I never thought of using Acrobat. Seems to be working, thanks for reminding me!
Np. Hope it goes well.
