Anyway to download this file without creating an account?

<https://www.slideshare.net/HindenburgResearch/diamond-scam-order-2013pdf>

It's a long document that I can't read all at once. I want to read page
at time before it disappears from the website.

I don't have an account with Scribd.

Thank you.

You can go to "Save page as" in your browser and save the whole web page
as htm/html file. The whole thing will be in your Downloads folder. I
have tried it with Firefox and Chrome.

When you read the downloaded html file with your browser, there will be
annoying popup ads. You need a good popup blocker to suppress the
annoying popups.

Install IT. Configure It and give the link.

He download the main page and create a offline site where you can
browse local image. This is not a PDF (maybe if you download you have
a pdf), but for what I have see.

Its a long list of .png or .jpg files, one per each page of pdf.

I Give you some screenshot:

1) Simple

https://postimg.cc/1ntJqCL8 (here you have to choice what download)

2) Choices

https://postimg.cc/w3n01kFB (a little complicated? nahhhh)

For some sites sometime you have to change your BrowserID Tab, but
most important is this, you have to choice the speed of download and
max connection and other things for some sites.... but most important
its the Maximum Depth Internals and Externals

Max Depth Internals is the chain of local webpage.

Max Depth Externals is the chain of nonlocal webpage

Example? Yup

Max Depth Internals 1 =

main page -> click (another page)

if 2? is

main page -> click (another page) and every click for another page
linked to previous

Think to your C:

C + Subfolder (Windows) - 1
C + Subfolder (Windows) + (System 32) - 2

Documents (0)
Documents (0) + folder Pippo inside the Documents (1)
Documents (0) + folder Pippo inside the Documents (1) + Archive inside
the Pippo Dir (2)
Documents (0) + folder Pippo inside the Documents (1) + ToDo inside
the Pippo Dir (2)

Etcetc.

Max Depth Externals is the same but for entire link outside the main
site. Example

if 0, only local site
if 1, local site + external site (maybe some facebook link? another
website?)
if 2, local site + external site + another external site

Pay Attention to external site, if you choice 2, you can download a
entire website + another entire website (all wikipedia maybe)

Just for better info.

If you have a local website (wikipedia) and choice external website 1,
you download also all external link present in everypage from
wikipedia. Maybe a site external like Movieplayer or DBInfo.

With 2, you not only download your site wikipedia, but also
movieplayer, dbinfo + all external first site they have in the link
and maybe are who sell the dvd, who sell the book.....

With 3, you download your site, + first external site, plus second
external site and all links related + all external site related to the
previous all links.

If you setup incorrect the outside website, you can really download
ENTIRE WORLD! :D

So at 99% you have also to choice 0 for external or at max 1 (if you
know what you do and is the primary site you want have a external link
you need).

For internal sometimes its 1 or 2, maybe is 3.

Why?

Because think this:

You choice a sub webpage into a site (Wikipedia) and with 1-2 you
download also all the links, but if in this page you have at bottom
(click for home), HTTRACK go to home, and download every thing found
in main folder 1-2 and maybe 3. Also if you not need it.

Think this....

C:Windows
C:Windows\system32
C:Windows\HOME (where in HOME you have D: E:)

You have in httrack tell to download all first dir in D: and E: etcetc

So think this things when you have to choice internal depth, like a
hard disk, where folder are a webpage with a new link (new folder).

Conclusion:

internal 0 is only what you see in your link
internal 1 can be a thumbnail jpg
internal 2 can be a real jpg

So, now set external 0 and only internal 1. Start it. I have what you
need. Otherwise repeat with internal 2 if you miss something.

I am sorry. The first method does really download the content of the
whole webpage for offline reading.

Please use this method. I am sure this works because I have already tried:

Use Firefox web browser to open this link and download this Firefox Add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-page-we/

Then on the webpage you want to download, click on the Add-on's icon,
then it will really download the content of the whole webpage into your
Downloads folder.

I'm not going to do the hacking for you.

what I notice is:

1) A private web page is nice.

2) If your browser supports page info, you can get URLs.
For example, select the main pane with the fax scan image
on it, do a "view image", and get the page info. That gives me some webp image references.

That does not guarantee it will work for images 1..233 , but
it looks promising. Their server sometimes cuts off, after a couple
megabytes of downloads.

You can try to get a Windows "wget.exe" from wsusoffline.net
in their package. I believe one of the helpers in there is wget.exe .
The wget64.exe is not much different, and is a 64-bit executable
for a 64-bit OS if you want it. It does not technically help that much.

Why doesn't Ctrl-S work for you? Then choose Web page, complete.

I believe the OP wants to save the Web page as an Image file.
My Web browser, Vivaldi, can capture the entire page as a file (.JPG in
my case) or a specified area of the page.

Does Firefox natively save an entire web page (even the parts you can't see
in one screen) in a way that you can then easily _use_ the linked pages?

Long ago (Thu, 21 Jun 2018) Paul had suggested https://wkhtmltopdf.org/
which saves an entire web site to a PDF with lots of settings for bounds.

Having pointed out that freeware solution from Paul, for me, I use
Control+Shift+O in the Adobe Acrobat Writer which (as with Paul's
command-line wkhtmltopdf solution) will save any web site to PDF starting
and stopping where you defined it to start & stop.

Get that? It could save the ENTIRE INTERNET to a cross-linked PDF if you
had enough space - but normally you set it to stop at a couple of levels.

I don't even know what the command is called 'cuz I use control shift O
all the time to save an entire web site to editable cross-linked PDF.

Long ago, when I wanted to screenshot long web pages, there was a plugin
that I used to do that in Firefox - but I don't remember the name of it.

In FFox do file/save page, it will be saved as html that can be viewed
offline, and you will have a permanent record of the document to share.

Ctrl-P then save as PDF is a built-in feature too.

Which will work nicely for normal pages, but no so much if its Javascript
driven.

In that case you are just saving a basic, rather empty page and a "loader",
and are still dependant on data thats retrieved from elsewhere to fill it
in.

IOW, converting the current webpage into an image is a good way to turn any
dynamic content (driven by Javascript or not) into static content.

Actually, you would be surprised at browser and web page
behaviors, when large display equipment is available.

The people running the web pages, are aware of your kind of
thinking -- that there are people out there <cough> "stealing
the content via screenshotting".

You may discover, that nothing nefarious happens when the users
have displays up to 4K screen size. But if your claimed display
device is larger than that, funny things start happening.

I've tested this, on a Linux setup, with a 26000 pixel tall
virtual display. And it turns out, that's not as useful
as you might hope.

The Javascript code on a web page, does do a bit of display
sniffing (and not always for fingerprinting either). A web page
can switch decoration styles, when a larger screen is available,
without really offering any more "value" to the content.

So while I like the idea of screenshotting myself, enough to
waste time setting up a monster virtual config, I'm not really
impressed with the "reliability" of the approach.

As an example, say we are snapshotting the Yahoo News page (that
is a page which is infinitely long that I use for test). What is
supposed to happen, is as you scroll, articles are added to the
side of the display. Well, if you make the screen tall enough,
articles start going missing near the bottom of the page. If you
open the exact same URL six times, and take 26000 pixel pictures,
none of the pictures has even remotely the same content. It might
look like this. In some cases, 20% of the bottom of the page
has gone missing on a reload.

But the web page is already a collection of images. As already
suggested, save the web page in firefox and you will get the
file "Diamond Scam Order 2013.pdf.htm" and a folder
"Diamond Scam Order 2013.pdf_files" with 2571 files (171 MByte).
You can view the page offline by clicking the saved html file.
If you are only interested in the 223 scanned pages, just
copy them to a new folder:

copy *2048.webp some_folder

You can use then any picture viewer to read the 223 page. Or
copy them all together in a single pdf file.

That's what I wanted too. I was trying to get around the fact that some
pages would look fine on the screen, then turn into a mess when printed.
I used to have a program that would do that, but lost it.

I don't know what is going on there. I was just "disappointed"
with the results, because I expected an infinite page, to paint
and load all the way to the bottom, without a fuss.

All media has dimensional limits. This is why we have "Photoshop Big"
format, which is "Photoshop", but with larger maximum numbers of pixels
in the X and Y directions. When the inventors notice people are attempting
to go past the limits, they can add new flavors to make working that way possible.

Some sites have more defensive setups, and you would notice
the code is a lot more "tight-assed" about the max size of
any pictures they might offer. This would be especially true of
sites with a Freemium model, where some part of the stuff is
given away free, but if you want better service, there is a rental
fee per month.

Bandwidth costs money, and that's why we can't have nice things.

Has the OP tried singlefile? Saves entire page as a single html or
self-extracting zip file.

That page uses lazy loading of images, i.e. they're not fetched until
(just before) they scroll into view

<img
loading="lazy"

An example is AJAX.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29

*******

And some web pages have download protection, such that if
you use the Firefox "Save As" "Webpage complete", a part of
the page will be missing. If you check the Download dialog,
there will be a notification that something stopped.

It was only the original web, which downloaded nicely.
In modern times, there are more failure modes possible.
