How do you download a PDF which is not downloadable from drive?

I downloaded a PDF file using this code. System.IO.FileInfo inputFile = new System.FileInfo(new System.Uri("C:pathtofile.pdf"));
InputFile.DownloadToFile(@"C:pathtofile.pdf", Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF);
But when I click on that downloaded PDF, it says 'You have no permission to open the item.' and when I right click on the file in the drive, the options are Save As or Open. But there is no option of Open With, Edit With etc. And the PDF can not be viewed directly. Is there any way that I can make a view of the downloaded file in Word?

It appears from your own post that you don't want it opened in Word. It's ok, Word is capable of opening PDF files as well as many other formats. You just need to install the appropriate program.Office

Now you should find a reference to OpenWith with the .pdf extension.

How do I extract an embedded PDF from a website?

My goal is to write a program that runs in Windows and will be able to extract a single PDF embedded in a website. I've been looking at the Google web scraping tool, which seems to have some functionality to extract embedded files. However, the tool seems to rely on Javascript being enabled in the browser. If you want to see the extraction tool in action, this youtube video shows how it works: There's no direct mention of extracting embedded PDFs, and the site doesn't look like it's using the google code's javascript to render the content (which would be my first guess as to why it doesn't work).

What I have been able to come up with so far is using java to open each link and manually extract the PDFs. It seems very resource intensive though, considering there are thousands of links to process in total, and the files are small (a few kb). As an alternative, I found this tool that extracts embedded html and image files into a local file system for viewing. However, it seems that it only works with files saved to a hard drive, not websites.

This question asks about extracting images from web pages with a Python solution. Is there a straightforward solution to extracting embedded PDF files (without writing my own JavaScript? My guess is that there is something out there already, but I haven't been able to find it yet. I think that the tools that render the webpages also render embedded PDFs, so it makes sense to try and find something that does both. I'm just having trouble finding information on whether any of those tools can extract embedded PDFs, and if they can, where I can find any documentation or example code.

I did the job with the following tools: WinHttp API - download the whole web page;. Mozilla Fetch API - download the whole web page;. Open-Source - use BeautifulSoup 4 to parse the HTML;. Javascript - extract the PDF using jsPDF. Result: download the website's source, not the web page, because the page includes JavaScript scripts that need to be parsed.

How do I download a restricted PDF from a website?

I was curious how I can download a restricted PDF file that comes with a password protected zip? (Or just the PDF of course.) For example, a PDF of an assignment for a class, or the first few pages of a textbook. It would be nice if I could read the PDF while on my mobile phone, tablet, or laptop, without having to ask someone to send it to me. I'm not looking for software like "PdfXplorer" as I can do that with my computer. The problem is that most of the material that I want to read isn't available on the net (unless you have an account at a university).

My only option right now is to contact the professor's office and request their files. The file should be zipped to unpack and run. It may be a simple PDF file, or you might have an Excel document, Word doc or an image. (You will have to have the password to see the content)

A zip file is a "compressed file format". What you downloaded is simply a "file format", which is not the same as "zip file format".

When you "open" the zip file, it will decompress the content into a folder, and the content in the zip file are placed in the folder. It is NOT a program which creates the zip file.

When you look at the .ZIP folder, it is the zip files which were created by the zipping program, not the files which are in the .

The simplest thing to do to "view" the contents of a .zip file is to: Right click the .zip file and select "Open With" > "Notepad".ZIP file will open up in Notepad. To view the contents of the zip file, you can then copy/paste the contents into Notepad, or "cut" the text out of the .ZIP file and past it into Notepad.

You can also download and use the "7-Zip" program (free), to unzip the .ZIP file directly.

The above advice to download the .zip and then open it with a text editor is very good advice.

You should be careful about opening a .zip file, and especially ZIP archives, in certain programs that are not designed to work with them.

How to download PDF from website which is not downloadable in Chrome?

I am trying to download pdf files from a website. The website is not compatible with chrome and other browsers. But the site has a button which opens a new window and when I click on it, the browser displays a "download" window. When I try to download it says that the file is not downloadable.

How can I download these files without changing the source code of the website? I tried different browser but no luck. The main problem is that you are not downloading the file, you are opening a new tab and using the new tab feature of the browser to download the file. If you want to download the file, just click on the file to open it in the new tab. You can use any browser. Chrome will still open the file in a new tab. Firefox will download it. IE will download it too if you right click on the file and choose "Save As".
