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?
I've run into this before on archive.org, incredibly annoying.
I believe there are utilities that can capture and join together JPEGs into a PDF, but it seems they purposefully uploaded a very low res version to prevent that.
Hate to say, but I don't see a way around it.
In this case the jpegs themselves change everytime you zoom in, so you zoom in a little it loads a new set of higher quality Jpegs.
Do you remember the tool you are talking about?
check this out, autohotkey script that screenshots and flips pages:

Seems after that you can select all the pages in windows explorer, hit print, and choose PDF.
You could stitch together the pdfs with screen captures then, but that would be a royal pain in the ass.
ChromeCacheView is a step in the right direction, but nothing fully automatic. I'm also searching for a less manual solution.
