Answer 1

I suggest you get the PDF with Scrapy and use PyPDF2 to get the content inside the PDF.

For a complete but somewhat old (using pyPDF) example take a look at this site.

Thank you for the answer.. I have tried to use the sample site you have given me but I am still getting some errors like *** PdfReadError: EOF marker not found – Cynarra
