.pdf links from a website
-
Is it possible to build a workflow that pulls all the links to .PDFs off a webpage in the built-in browser.
-
Yes, but i can't help in detail. It probably requires a workflow with just a Python script.
Given the webpage address, you'd use
Requeststo get the webpage html, then search for links ending in.pdfand return them in a list. I imagine you could useRequeststo download the pdfs as well. -
You might be able to pull the HTML directly from the built-in browser, but I’m not 100% sure.

See the two links below.... The basic idea is to use
requeststo get the webpage HTML and useBeautifulSoupto parse that HTML to find the links that end in ".pdf".http://omz-forums.appspot.com/pythonista/post/5903606662299648
