DOWNLOAD SCRIBD DOCUMENTS FOR FREE

There are a couple of ways to download Scribd documents without paying for them.
I prefer the first way as it is the easiest. I have had mixed results with it t
hough. The majority of the time I get the document no problem but occasionally I
see error: invalid key errors or the page hangs while loading. Your mileage may v
ary.
Navigate to Scribd and find a document you want to download.
Right click an empty space within the document and select Show Source. (Google C
hrome).
Hit Ctrl + F and search that source code for access_key . Copy it somewhere. It sho
uld look something like key-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .
Go back to the document and check the document ID in the URL. It should look som
etime like https://www.scribd.com/read/NUMBER/DOCUMENT TITLE . You want the NUMBER.
Create a new URL using the access key, document ID and this partial URL. http://d
1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=NUMBER&access_key=key-ACCESS_KEY
Paste the URL into a new tab and wait for the page to load. Depending on the boo
k and how busy the Scribd servers are, this could take a while.
Once loaded, print to PDF and you have your document.
Like I said, I have had mixed results with this method but it is simple so I alw
ays use it first. There is another way if that one doesn t work for you either.
