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.

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
