How to hack Scribd to


download documents for free

How to download documents for free


I was looking at an online document that SOMEONE ELSE UPLOADED and it
was very helpful, so I wanted to download it. Scribd however, wanted to charge
a daily fee of around $5 dollars to download the content, when it clearly says
someone uploaded it.
Here was the document that I
wanted: http://www.scribd.com/doc/90924585/The-Dark-Monk-Excerpt-byOliver-Potzsch
For Public ID's(2012):
*document ID* = 90924585
http://www.scribd.com/mobile/documents/*document ID*/
or
http://www.scribd.com/mobile/documents/*document ID*/download
Insert the number id in the here ^
Sometimes using the first download link is better because it creates a
download button. It should should show a download link.
Update(2/18/12): For Private ID's:
Example URLs:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/39976170/Anthro-2B-Midterm-Study-Guide
http://www.scribd.com/doc/33840335
Right-click > View Page Source > Save as to a document on your computer
*Make sure you do this to get the entire "Generated Source" (I used Mozilla
FireFox)
I saved this as "doc.html" Open the file "doc.html" > Search for "page.u" You
should see something like "// page.uuid : 3kw800775slntll"
page.uuid = "3kw800775slntll"
Now search for the page.uuid or "3kw800775slntll" and you should see
something like: "http://html2.scribdassets.com/3kw800775slntll/pages/542d2422da938.jsonp"
The URL can range from "html1.scribdassets.com" to
"html4.scribdassets.com".
Here is a simple Linux Bash Script to download the images:
Make SURE you change the *page.uuid* to your page.uuid.
cat "doc.html" | grep pages | cut -d"/" -f6 | cut -d. -f1 | grep -vi scrib | while
read ID; do wget
"http://htmlimg1.scribdassets.com/*page.uuid*/images/$ID.jpg"; done;
However, once you find the page.uuid, you can substitute it in the URL.
"http://htmlimg1.scribdassets.com/*page.uuid*/images/$ID.jpg"
Update(2/25/12): For Protect(Preview) ID's:

When there are previews on Scribd, they are trying to selling a document and
other allow users to few select pages. Downloading these would be illegal and
the script above only downloads the images of the "protected" documents.

Your book is probably really expensive. So here you go:
http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/UpGIJi58/le.html In the future,
use the android method. Search the comments for 'android' and
you'll see how to do it.
