Free access to digital textbooks (until 30th September) for UK students.

Maybe useful for someone to data hoard and share before the free access ends if you can find a way to rip.

You can download book by book with this website … Need to paste the link of the book there and download all pages to pdf.

With simple reverse engineering, here is pseudocode

1. Use selenium or any framework you liked

2. Go to the book url

3. Detect how many pages for the book

4. Here is a structured URL for each page

5. Use For Loop from 1 to the last page detected in Step 3

6. Create PDF from `svgz` files collected from Step 5.

You can’t run this onto Colab. This script uses Selenium.

The reason is that I grab a book\_id from the URL generated by javascript.

```
import requests
i = 0
first_part = "https://p.calameoassets.com/200330160133-befc931cf81b8df61613115b0a327a50/p"
for j in range(1,500):
  i = i + 1
  url = (first_part + str(i) + ".svgz")
  response = requests.get(url, allow_redirects=True)
  page = (str('{0:03}'.format(i))+".svg")
  print(page)
  file = open(page, "wb")
  file.write(response.content)
  file.close()

```

this is a dumb code i write for downloading a particular book.  
put this into a file and name it something.py save it .  
you just need to go to the book you want to download and F12 on it then click the select element button on the console than click any page of the book . copy the url then put the first part which is “[https://p.calameoassets.com/200330160133-befc931cf81b8df61613115b0a327a50/p](https://p.calameoassets.com/200330160133-befc931cf81b8df61613115b0a327a50/p)” this much in the first\_part variable than change the range of the for loop according to the pages. this will download the book you wanted in .svg format which you can open on the chrome by dragging any svg file to see.

the main issue here is converting these svg files to pdf. i tried everything inkscape , codes but the problem is with fonts. so i want to know if any one have the solution for converting these svgs to pdf properly. thank you very much everyone for sharing your knowledge.
