We once wrote an article about How to Download Scribd Documents for Free.
That post offers FREE solutions to download the Scribd files that require you to
pay for a subscription.
However, there are a considerable number of Scribd documents that do not
have the Download button at all. The file uploader has disabled the download
options. Whether you join Scribd membership or not, you cannot download
these documents for offline purposes, such as enjoying Scribd on Kindle
devices, printing the documents, etc., which limits you to read-only on the
Scribd website and the Scribd app.
This article is exactly to solve this problem. Even if the document’s web page
does not have a download button, we can use some tricks to download them,
and it’s free! No need to pay, and no need to login to Scribd, you can easily
download Scribd documents without download option.

Method 1: Use Online Scribd Downloader
This is a Scribd downloader that works, and works great. It’s called
DocDownloader. You just need to input the document link and follow its
instructions. It will have the same typography as the original document.
Step 1. Paste Scribd Document URL and Click on Get Link

Go to the Scribd website, open the document you want to download and copy
its URL from the address bar. Next, visit DocDownloader, input the link as the
image below, and click on GET LINK.

Step 2. Click on Download
You will be redirected to a page that requires authentication to establish that a
computer user is human. After ticking the box, click on DOWNLOAD PDF (or
DOWNLOAD TXT, DOCX, etc.). The page will refresh, and then you press the
download button again.
Step 3. Click on Continue
The redirection will lead you to the page below. On this page, it will have a
countdown of 15 seconds. After waiting patiently, the Continue button will
appear. Click on that and the Scribd document will be downloaded to your
computer.

Method 2: Use a Chrome Plugin to Save
Scribd Document Pages as PDF
I have tried several plugins of the same type (web page to PDF), and from this
one I get acceptable results.
PDF Mage is a Chrome plugin that lets you save a web page as an editable PDF
file with a single click of a button. You can set the Number of pages as Single
page or Multiple pages. With a Single page setting, the reading experience is
almost the same as reading the original web page. Once the conversion is
completed, the Scribd document will be automatically saved on your local
drive.
But of course, this plugin is to convert a web page such as Scribd to PDF, but
not download the Scribd document itself. The result will not be as good as
Method 1 that we have mentioned above. In addition, for downloading some
very long Scribd documents to single-page PDF, this plugin will fail to
download. It will show an error message.
Sample of a Scribd document downloaded by PDF Mage:

In addition to the above two, there are some other ways to download Scribe
documents without download option. For example, you can Print the Scribd
document web page as PDF from Google Chrome (press shortcut Ctrl+P on
Windows or Command+P on Mac). I got an unsatisfactory result, so I don’t
plan to recommend this method here.
In short, Method 1 is the best solution, I’m very happy with it, and method 2
can be an alternative. Now it must be very easy to download Scribd documents
without download option, as well as download any files on Scribd without
login.

That website still says system down. But I am trying to download a
/read/ document.
So I try the chrome add in. It gets the page I am on. is there a way to
have it step through the whole book / make a multipage PDF of the
whole book?

It's worth noting that only Scribd documents can be
downloaded, not books.

I just tested the site on my laptop and it seems to be working
fine. Could you provide me with the document's URL?

Thanks for the reply / moderating this!
Yeah, when I go to docdownloader.com, the page
loads. It's only when I enter the URL
https://www.scribd.com/read...
and click on 'get link' that it says 'Sorry, our service are
offline right now. Please try again later.'
Can't really complain about a free site, but they might
want to post a more appropriate message - 'this doesn't
work for /read/ items'?

Yeah, you'll have to repeat the procedure many
times as you'd expect. It's very time-consuming.
I'll suggest that you look for and download the
eBook from elsewhere.

That website may not be very stable sometimes. If it fails to
download, you can try again later. It seems to work now for
me? I just downloaded the doc you mentioned.

Dear Susanna, is there a way (to date) to download "books" or
"articles"? I am a registered Scribd user but I would like to download,
not only to read. Thanks . Giovanna

Thank you very much but the first method no longer works. When I
try, a text appears that says "Sorry, our service are offline right now.
Please try again later."I have tried for two weeks and the page always
says the same thing.

The method works only with files that have a download
button in Scribd.
