It is essentially a paid service and hence
even if it lets you view a certain amount of
documents for free, you can’t download
them unless you upgrade to a paid
membership. With a small subscription fee,
Scribd readers can view and read all such
documents and books from their favorite
platforms like Android, iOS, Windows, Mac,
and Linux.

But with a free Scribd membership, you can

view only a limited number of documents in
Scribd’s database.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD A 400 PAGES LONG
BLURRED DOCUMENT FROM SCRIBD USING
WEB BROWSER
HACKINTOSH Search the site 
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.

pages of the document, which can be read,

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.

One more possibility is that you are looking

for the easiest way to download the required
document from the Scribd repository.

However, when you search for Scribd

Downloader, you will rarely find a working
website. The Scribd updates their websites
with new lines of code occasionally after
which these downloader websites fail to
download the Scribd documents via URL.

However, some sites like DLscrib.com—an

amazing Scribd downloader web app—lets

these downloaders. Also, let us know if that
