Best for
- ✓Public reports, forms, and disclosures spread across multiple pages.
- ✓Course materials, papers, and research PDFs on faculty sites.
- ✓PDF viewer pages where the direct file URL is hidden.
- ✓Course or archive folders where PDFs sit one or two links deep.
Workflow
- 1Open the page that lists the PDFs and click the Grab All Files icon in the toolbar.
- 2Choose “Depth”, then press “Scan”. “This page only” checks just this page; Depth 1 also scans the pages it links to inside the starting page’s folder, Depth 2 goes one level further. Deeper scans take longer (up to 100,000 pages).
- 3Filter the list to PDF and check the title, source page, size and URL of each file. Tick the PDFs you need.
- 4Press “Save selected files”, or open “More actions” for ZIP or “Merge PDFs”. Free saves up to 10 PDFs per action; tick the next ones and press the button again.

FAQ
Can it find PDFs inside viewers or iframes?
Yes. It checks iframe sources, viewer URLs, fetch/XHR responses, blob URLs, and common CMS routes where the direct PDF link is not visible.
Can it crawl more than one page?
Yes. Increase the link depth to scan linked pages within the starting page’s folder. For example, /~name/course.html stays within /~name/. Pages outside that folder are not crawled.
Are PDFs uploaded for merging?
No. PDF merge runs locally in your browser.
Can I download PDFs for free?
Yes. Free saves up to 10 selected PDFs per download, ZIP or merge. Tick the next PDFs and press the button again to carry on. Pro ($19.99 one-time, up to 3 devices) removes the per-action limit.
Does it guarantee every PDF will be saved?
No. Results depend on the links found, scan depth, site access and browser support. Review failed downloads, retry them or export the failed URLs with their reasons. The extension does not bypass login or site restrictions.
What if the PDFs are behind a sign-in?
Sign in to the site in the same browser before scanning; the scan and the Depth crawl use that session. If a link returns a sign-in page instead of a PDF, the session has probably expired — sign in again and retry. The extension never signs in for you or bypasses access limits.
