presentations etc on a particular topic. it has a huge data base of Documents and files which are free
to download and share. Know more about Scribd from this article..

You cannot download these files as they are locked. But using a simple virtual printer software , you can
create PDF files out of online data by printing the online document in PDF format. Primo PDF is one
best software to do this job. Get it here..
Convert Any File ( Doc, Images, Text, Web pages ) to PDF Primo PDF

After you download and Install the software, go to the document you want to download and click on the
Print option. In the resultant window, choose Primo PDF and then click Print. Thats it and you are
done. You will get the file in the PDF format and you can use it as you want.

Hi Vinne2,
I am fine and have no problem print the Locked Files or Documents from Scribd with your magic,
however, I came across with "Pages 2 to 4 are not shown in this preview.". Is there any magic to
print the pages which are not shown? Thanks again.

Hi Vinne2,
You are a genius and I really really appreciate for your detailed and lengthy explanation & tips. I
finally managed to print the document. Just curious to know, is it possible to download instead of
print? I am sorry that I am being too demanding, Sorry.
*Exactly 20th line from the fisrt line to locate
http://www.scribd.com/services/oembed?url=http&format=xml

Then copy & paste the above link to a new page in browser then look for 12th line which has
something like:src=" http://d1=list" , pls copy the whole link which begins from http:// EXCEPT the quotation
mark. And paste it into your browser addres bar. Hit Enter. Now You should have a view of Your
document with a pretty [Print] button.

Get an application [ex. PDFCreator] that acts as a virtual printer and prints (everything You
let it print) into a PDF file. Another words You choose what You want to save, choose (in
a dialog box) PDFCreator as a printer You want to use, click [Print] and it will save that
into a PDF file just as it would look coming out of You regular printer.
Now You understand? Install PDFCreator and print scribd with it q:)

Hi,
I cant find http://www.scribd.com/services/oembed ending in format=json
on the new page look for the line (around half way down) starting
http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=

You may try finding http://www.scribd.com/services/oembed?url=&format=xml It's the 20th

line in the source code (I don't count empty lines) [remember, the three dots "..." in the
link I pasted are not really dots in the source code! I put dots in here because every
document has another text in that place!]
Copy that and paste into Your browser address bar. On the new site serach for something
like: <embed id="doc_[SOME-15-DIGITS-HERE]" name="doc_[SOME-15-DIGITS-HERE]"
src=" http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=A-LOT-OF-SYMBOLS-ANDDIGITS-HERE <-and it's probably ending with sth like "&page=1&viewMode=list" but I'm not
sure. Copy that string after //src=// but without quotation marks! And paste it into your
browser addres bar. Hit Enter. Now You should have a view of Your document with a
pretty [Print] button.

on the new page look for the line (around half way down) starting
http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id= its all in quotation marks so just
highlight and ctrl c that one line between the quote marks. Paste in the web address field of your
browser and itll come up with a grey blue screen which will show the document with a handy
print button at the top. A bit long winded but worked for me
and print as PDF
