    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.

    https://www.httrack.com/

    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.

    [Please disregard my last post]


    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.

    webp file.

    wget https://image.slidesharecdn.com/diamondscamorder2013-221110143703-48245a2b/75/diamond-scam-order-2013pdf-1-2048.jpg?cb=1678672102

    I just used a wget I had handy in a ubuntu VM.

    [Picture]

    https://i.postimg.cc/RVwtwNYh/diamonds-are-forever.gif

    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.

    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.
    --
    comp.text.pdf added because they know how to save & edit PDF better than I.

    Nic,

    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.

    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.

    Regards,
    Rudy Wieser

    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.

    FastStone Capture 10.2 Shareware (Last Update: 2023-07-05)

    A powerful, lightweight, yet full-featured screen capture tool that
    allows you to easily capture and annotate anything on the screen
    including windows, objects, menus, full screen, rectangular/freehand
    regions and even scrolling windows/web pages. It also allows you to
    record screen activities, sound and webcam into MP4 video files.
    //
    This is one of the better "page scroll to image" programs I've found. It
    works with browsers, Windows Explorer or any other Windows windows to
    adhere to Windows scroll mechanics.

    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.

    Nic,

    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.

    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.

    the page will be missing. If you check the Download dialog,
    there will be a notification that something stopped.

    The problem with "webpage complete" is that it re-downloads* the webpage and all its resources - but any scripting resources are (ofcourse) not executed against that webpage. The missing parts are most likely downloaded by some
    JS later.

    * another problem with that is that the result has not been pulled thru any kind of addon, so if you have an Anti-ad/tracker/malware addon running the saved result isn't protected by it.

    It was only the original web, which downloaded nicely.

    Well, try it and see.

    http://info.cern.ch/

    Looks like it is just text. In prehistoric times, they
    didn't even use long sentences :-) Hypertext back then,
    meant the web page had links, and the rest of it is
    just text.

    http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/X11/Overview.html

    I did a "Save As" "Webpage complete" on the top level of
    that web site, and the download was 736 bytes and consisted
    of just one file. There was no "folder of supporting cast",
    no jquery, no advertising bumpf. Shocking really. If only
    they'd known that it would be chock-a-block with adverts.

    Long ago I decided the best way to save an entire web page or site or set
    of levels, is simply to save it to a cross-linked PDF as Paul explained.
    <https://wkhtmltopdf.org/>
    which saves anything on the web to a PDF with lots of settings for bounds.

    Then it prints fine.
    It cross references fine.
    It looks fine.
    It saves fine (as a single file).
    Everyone can read it.
    It emails fine.
    etc.

    Me?
    I don't use that because I have the payware Adobe Acrobat Writer.

    http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/X11/Overview.html

    Both mostly are, at least when I look at the result of "view page source".

    The second links webpage isn't even actually HTML, as it lacks both the
    "html" and "body" elements ...

    There was no "folder of supporting cast", no jquery, no advertising bumpf. Shocking really. If only they'd known that it would be chock-a-block with adverts

    So much wasted space. :-(

    And whats worse, no "blink" or "marquee" tag anywhere ! No red-on-blue or gray-on-grayish colorscheme either. Not even a bunch of animated GIFs !

    Oh man, that website must be *old*. :-)

    .... pretty much as I like to see them. Stating what I am looking for in
    a (mostly) static fashion.

    Though I don't mind to see a supporting(!) image here-and-there though. Or a bit of information formatted by a "table" element (trying to force the same thru heaps of "div"s and CSS ? What a waste of time).

    Phishing?


    Phishing

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Phishing is a form of social engineering and scam where attackers
    deceive people into revealing sensitive information[1] or installing
    malware such as ransomware. Phishing attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and often transparently mirror the site being targeted,
    allowing the attacker to observe everything while the victim is
    navigating the site, and transverse any additional security boundaries
    with the victim.[2] As of 2020, it is the most common type of
    cybercrime, with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center reporting
    more incidents of phishing than any other type of computer crime.[3]

    The term "phishing" was first recorded in 1995 in the cracking toolkit
    AOHell, but may have been used earlier in the hacker magazine
    2600.[4][5][6] It is a variation of fishing and refers to the use of
    lures to "fish" for sensitive information.[5][7][8]

    Measures to prevent or reduce the impact of phishing attacks include legislation, user education, public awareness, and technical security measures.[9] The importance of phishing awareness has increased in both personal and professional settings, with phishing attacks among
    businesses rising from 72% to 86% from 2017 to 2020.[10]





    «Phishing is a form of social engineering and scam where attackers
    deceive people into revealing sensitive information[1] or installing
    malware such as ransomware.»

    What sensitive information has been obtained?

    What malware has been installed?

    :-?


    It will be something, but it doesn't fit the definition for "Phising".

    It will be something, but it doesn't fit the definition for "Phising".

    Sometimes, open-ended, dump-and-run posts of this type, are "trolling".
    The intention ? "Regulars fall all over themselves."

    For the Commander, the objective is "maximum thread count". At one
    time, the usenet client had a "total posts" counter for a thread,
    and from that, you could get your jollies from making it hit 500

    Thank you.


    After all the discussion this posting has generated, mebbe the OP [my
    goodness gracious me] could've set up a *free/short-term* account with
    *Scribd*?

    Instead, a browser *help* group has been tied up in knots of
    non-Firefox hand-wringing.

    The original post was obviously phishing... and I'll bet we never hear
    from her.

    Phishing?

    It will be something, but it doesn't fit the definition for "Phising".

    Sometimes, open-ended, dump-and-run posts of this type, are "trolling".
    The intention ? "Regulars fall all over themselves."

    Yes, trolling it can be, certainly.


    For the Commander, the objective is "maximum thread count". At one
    time, the usenet client had a "total posts" counter for a thread,
    and from that, you could get your jollies from making it hit 500
    or 1000, with suitable amounts of thread drift.

    What is the commander? :-?

    Somebody cares today for number of posts in Usenet?

    That's what I'm using, when Eternal-September is timing out.

    Then you don't want a screenshot, you want a web page saver ...

    except firefox does fine at saving the whole web page

    So does Vivaldi, which is why I use it. Of course, a whole web page
    saved as a JPG image is extremely narrow and very, very tall. But it
    works perfectly.

    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?

    AFAIK no. It saves an image. If you want the whole page with usable links,
    just a regular Save will do it, but the usability of the result depends
    on the quality of the HTML. The safest way is to run the HTML file
    through HTML Tidy with the -asxml option. That way you're practically guaranteed a well-formed file.

    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.

    I ditched FF a long time ago for bloat. But I stick with Vivaldi because
    of the page-saver images.
