Hi @Zerovelocity275 & @luduma, I would like to point out that this script is not necessary anymore, since you can just add /unsupported to the url and download the pdf from Publitas themselves.

Oh, thank you so much, that's great.

you can just add /unsupported to the url and download the pdf from Publitas themselves.

Hi @GlowingBulb , I'm doing that and it just says: Whoops! Something went wrong... We're sorry, but this part is no longer available., so they patched it right? idk if I'm doing it right, im adding it at the end of url

Hi @Cristark02, As far as I know it still works. Make sure that you add the /unsupported to the end of the "root" url like this:
