I bought an online course recently. They mention on their websites that a note will be provided. But in the names of note they provide a 2-page summary for download, and the original note PDFs are not downloadable. I tried to download PDF from their sites via IDM but file corrupted. Even I tried to force copy and pasting into other documents but not successful as it pastes some encoded language. Only way I found to click screenshots of each and every pages on pc and paste into the word. It is very time-consuming. Is there another way to download PDF from their sites? Edit: look like the best way to capture it through screenshot.

Without telling us the exact site, the only answer you can expect to get is a resounding "maybe".

it is a indian website and all the content are DRM protected.

You're not helping if you don't tell us the exact name of the website. Every DRM implementation works different.

If you are not able to share the name of the website, could you maybe share a screenshot of how the PDF is displayed on the website? That would a bit more helpful towards solving your problem.

Looks like the link you shared is not set to public. Just a heads-upโ€”Google Drive will show your account name and profile picture for shared files. If you don't want that, you could upload the image directly here in a Lemmy comment, or use something like Pixelfed.

Search internet for the file name maybe?

their notes are like compilation of some books regarding a particular exam. I can find books online but not their notes.

I tried, not working.. It is not a pdf, some how all the pages are in different div container and text inside the page are in the span container but in distorted form.

[โ€“] inosuke@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

pdf open only to their websites in a window.. it is DRM protected content.

They may not expose the actual PDF to you at all, just some software rendering of it. In that case I'd focus on making screenshotting efficient. Find a program that lets you save the whole screen to file automatically at once (one button press), or use Firefox ctrl+shift+s -> click on the page area -> save -> enter.

I think the same.. because I tried every way that I know.. On developer menu it shows every page inside a div container, and every element on that page word or text in the span container. even it is not directly written in the span container it is distorted the way words are written.. https://temp-file.org/jcwX1twb7yjgByb/preview https://temp-file.org/hIjgiABXlvinKlh/preview https://temp-file.org/TiC5Kp8vpya5YsM/preview https://temp-file.org/Z3df1Yzh47CvtIu/preview have a look
