HOW TO DOWNLOAD A 400 PAGES LONG BLURRED DOCUMENT FROM SCRIBD USING WEB
BROWSER
This works! In my test, I opened https://www.scribd.com/document/267520124/QRG-ME-pdf document. It’s
blurred if you view without Tampermonkey setup.
After Tampermonkey setup, I was able to view the entire 400 page blurred PDF document on Scribd. Then I
used the screenshot extension and it took 5 minutes to complete screenshots.

Once done I downloaded the document in PDF file. The extension generated two PDF files, 100 pages each.
And these 200 page PDF contains all 400 pages of the document, which can be read, and shared.

NOTE: This will take time to save if the document is long, such as in my case. So wait if you feel the browser
is stuck. It’s not. It’s just taking time to process such a large document.
