Downloading from Scribd
Scribd is a pretty much popular document sharing site which has been around since a couple of years. Some fans state Scribd is for documents like what Youtube is for videos. But Scribd is sometimes disrupted due to javascript/adobe flash player restrictions on the client side. Viewing & downloading documents at such times becomes impossible. Here’s a shortcut to download documents from Scribd when you are logged in to the site:
Add the following to the end of the document url:
?autodown=pdf
For example, the following is the URL for opening a Scribd document:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/6366850/DocTitle
Add the autodown parameter and open this url in your browser.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/6366850/DocTitle?autodown=pdf
This will start downloading the document in pdf format. You need to be logged in to the Scribd for this to work. This will work even if Javascript is disabled, or Flash player is not available.
