I know I can use comets technology to create server side events that trigger an HttpResponse but I am hoping there is a simpler way. You can create a temporary set of hidden iframes, initiate download by GET or POST inside of them, wait for downloads to start and remove iframes:. This solution works across browsers, and does not trigger warnings. Rather than creating an iframe , here we creates a link for each file.
This prevents warning messages from popping up. To handle the looping part, we use setTimeout , which is necessary for it to work in IE. Update : I am aware that the 'run code snippet' no longer works, but that's due to cross site cookie issues.
The code works fine if deployed on your own site. I suppose you could initiate multiple file downloads using a bunch of iframes or popups, but from a usability standpoint, a ZIP file is still better. Who wants to click through ten 'Save As' dialogs that the browser will bring up?
I agree that a zip file is a neater solution But if you have to push multiple file, here's the solution I came up with. The rest of the links will be highlighted in Yellow. Click on the second link in the list. All the links will now be highlighted Green to indicate they have been selected.
As we are not interested in extracting the names of the links. From the dropdown, choose the Download to Dropbox option.
On the left sidebar, click on the green Get Data button. You can now test, schedule or run your scrape. Quickly and easily search and download files linked in websites. Click the extension button on the Chrome toolbar , filter results to only include files you want, and then download them all! The browser extension may work in Chrome-compatible browsers such as Vivaldi or Opera as well.
The toolbar has additional commands that initiate further actions after conversion, such as attaching the new PDF to a new email message or printing it. I developed a crawler with ruby watir-webdriver that downloads some files from a page. My problem is that when I click to download the second file, Chrome opens a bar in the top asking for confirmation that I am downloading multiple files from this website. Once this is used by webdriver, I.
This would save lot of time. Typically, the HTML file includes associations with other files that either appear on the web page or govern how it looks or works. The resulting PDF behaves much like the original web page. For example, the images, links, image maps, and most media files appear and function normally within the PDF. Animated GIF files appear as still images, showing the last frame of the animation. For example, you can navigate through the file by scrolling or using bookmarks; users can add comments to it; you can add security, form fields, and other features that enhance it.
In preparing to convert web pages to PDF, consider the following factors, which affect how you approach the conversion process:. If you want to convert only selected areas of the currently open web page, use PDFMaker from within Internet Explorer.
If you want to convert several levels or all of a multipage website to PDF, work within Acrobat. You can do both in either Acrobat or Internet Explorer , but you choose different buttons or commands to accomplish these things.
Also, it is preferable to select an appropriate encoding from the HTML conversion settings. Using the commands on this toolbar, you can convert the currently displayed web page to PDF in various ways. For example, you can convert the entire web page or selected areas of it. The toolbar has additional commands that initiate further actions after conversion, such as attaching the new PDF to a new email message or printing it.
Then select a location, type a filename, and click Save. Then locate and select the existing PDF, and click Save. When the conversion is complete and the Print dialog box opens, specify options and click OK. Then specify a location and filename for the PDF, and click Save. Type the appropriate information in the email message that opens after the conversion is complete. Then select a name and location for the PDF. Then locate and select the PDF to which the selection will be added.
You can use the Select option to select specific areas on a web page to convert. You can use this option to convert meaningful content on a web page and omit unwanted content, such as advertisements. If you select either of these options, the currently open web page, not the selected link, is converted.
Although you can convert an open web page to PDF from Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Firefox, you get additional options when you run the conversion from Acrobat. For example, you can include an entire website in the PDF or just some levels of a website. To change the number of levels in the website to convert, click Capture Multiple Levels. Enter the number of levels to include, or select Get Entire Site to include all levels from the website. Some websites have hundreds or even thousands of pages.
Converting a large website can make your system slow and unresponsive, and can even use up available hard drive space and memory, causing a system crash. Stay On Same Path. Stay On Same Server. You can view PDF pages while they are downloading; however, you cannot modify a page until the download process is complete.
