Locked How to download manuel from sites of online manuals ?

[BobLeMarrant]

Hi guys,

Do you have a way to download PDF manuals from https://www.manuals.co.uk/?
This site has lots of alternatives depending on the country. A very useful site for finding user manuals for all sorts of things. From washing machines to motorcycles :-D
I'd like to get the PDF manual for my Triumph, it's easier to consult than from the site...

I've tried with downloaders : ko
Not enough skill via the browser's developer mode, maybe there's a trick?

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

STAFF EDIT
Do not post clickable links to other sites.

Unfortunately it doesn't work (same as print to pdf).
The content of the manuals is embedded in a viewer
That's why, apart from dev mode, I don't really see it... I'm looking for

There could be a hack..I am not too sure. Even I would be interested to know.
But there's a printer icon at top right just in the viewer. It will create a clean PDF from that page which is inside the viewer
Do it for every page and then using suitable app like PDF split & merge, merge all pages into one PDF.
Quite a bit of time consuming job but do give it a try if no other method is working

Yep, only 1 page
@ki_2004, yes sure your method will be works. I'll look into how to automate this...

you mention that you want the pdf file for your triumph but failed to mention which model of triumph

 

[ki_2004]

True
In my case, it concerns a Tiger Sport 660 > 2021
But in the end, my question may be of interest to others for other manuals. There are all kinds on the site. But indeed, if the PDF for the TigerSport 660 can be found elsewhere, I'll take it!

Not sure if this will work but usually when I try to download a manual
and it just opens the file, I would right click the link and choose save link as
and it will save to my PC as a pdf or whatever format the file is.

I went to the page and checked to see if it was possible to make a quick download script but man... those guys are good.

So what they did is they converted the PDF manuals into single HTML web pages. That means if a PDF has 300 pages, they made 300 single HTML pages that you then flip back and forth via their website interface. Images etc are separate elements that also need to be downloaded separately.

I guess at some point I can make a tool to download all of the pages of the manual separately but then I will need something to rebuild X amount of HTML pages and images into a PDF and ok that won't be as easy or quick as it sounds.

Sadly for the above reason I don't think you will also find a tool on the net tho you never know, there is always someone crazy and with enough free time to take the challenge.

That's exactly that !
The guys are good.
I'll try to find my manual elsewhere.
