PDF? I'm not sure exactly how to get there. – Pulse Jun 17, 2017 at 20:29

2 In the Chrome devtools ( F12 ), there is a tab called "Network" at the top. In it, all network requests are Question feed
shown; reload the page to get everything from a normal page load. There will be a long list of network
requests, and the raw PDF in this case has a URI starting with get.php and shows up under category
XHR – ethanwu10 Jun 17, 2017 at 23:12

3 In some readers, the F12 command will be disabled, so you will have to go to Google Controls > More tools
> Developer tools to access it. Then go to the Network tab and reload the page. All files will appear in the
list. You can sort by size, and usually the largest one is the PDF. As ethanwu10 mentioned, the type will
probably be listed as XHR. If you preview that file, and then right-click on the preview and selected "Open in
new tab" the PDF file will often open up or be downloaded immediately. – Doug Jan 23, 2018 at 14:15

1 @Doug I see no such get.php. Any picture of what it really looks like? – GJC Mar 25, 2021 at 20:59
