sciencedirect-dl

What does it?

This script downloads a book / journal from www.sciencedirect.com and merges the downloaded PDFs to one single PDF.

What must be installed?

• python (2.7.3 used while developing)
• pdftk (binary path must be in PATH (environment variable))
• BeautifulSoup (the python lib)

How does it work?

The script tells me this:

usage: sciencedirect-dl.py [-h] url output

Download Script for www.sciencedirect.com

positional arguments:
  url         URL to the specific Book to download
  output      Filepath to save the output to (PDF)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

What's missing?

I use the Issues feature of GitHub to track stuff I haven't done yet, so take a look there.
