Pete Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi, I'm struggling to find a neat way to save a bunch of pdf files from the net to a local folder without loading the file in a browser and then interacting with the browser controls. Does anyone know a better way ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strathos Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hello Pete What about using right click on the pdf link and then clicking on "Save as"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi Strathos, thanks for the reply. That would be better if they were in static positions on the web page, unfortunately they're not! I've now got a working solution which parses the main page source code and writes the pdf file addresses to a file; I then open each pdf document in turn and save it to my PC. So I know the web addresses of the files, but not where they are physically on the web page. It would be nice to be able to just use a file copy command for the "http\\: directory", then I wouldn't have to wait for all the pdf files to load. I may resort to buying some software which downloads entire web sites, that would do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
