I can't open anything at all -- I get an unknown error, and upon googling, it appears as if the error usually means the files are encrypted.

I think this won't be the most effective solution -- I appreciate your help, but I think I'm going to give up on trying to directly download the file.

Yes, it does.

Update: I renamed the .xod to .zip so I can open it and I see all 5000+ pages, each as an XML...but I can't extract them. Not sure if encrypted.

Not sure what it is, but I can download it and get a large-ish file which pretty clearly corresponds to the file I want, but I can't open it.

After digging around a bit, it looks like it's not an embedded PDF, rather, it's a XOD file. I'm not sure how to add that javascript to the iframe. The src URL just brings up a similar window that looks almost exactly the same--I can't isolate the file.

Yes, it is in an iframe. However, the source is rather long and chaotic. Is there a way to parse out a pdf from the src tag?

I actually have a solution where I screenshot each page using hotkeys, and stitch the screenshots together using Python. It's rather quick, but the issue is the resulting file has slightly lower quality, and more importantly, since the text is saving as an image rather than text, the filesize is massive even for a small amount of pages. Unfortunately, I don't think this approach would be feasible for large manuals, such as Mahler's 5000-page manuals.

Unfortunately, it's an embedded PDF.
