Pimpfish isn't grabbing Adobe file types (PDF) even after I added this extension to Picture types in Options. Is it because Pimpfish cannot go into secure web pages (e.g https://) or because I have to pay Pimpfish to get the full feature version? (I downloaded the trail 2007 version).

P.S. - I can download one PDF at a time by right-clicking on the link, but I'm looking for a one-click-grab-all functionality.

Hi nycmike,

What you need to do is use the "Grab any File Type" grab option and enter "PDF" in the dialog window. If you add PDF to the picture extensions list, you will only get PDF files if you use the Grab Pics and Grab Linked Pics grab options (along with a bunch of pictures of course).

I hope that made sense

Thanks!

I did as you said and still have no luck. I can't figure out why. When I hover the mouse over the link, I can see the pdf file extension. Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that the site is HTTPS instead of HTTP?

Thanks again.

Hmmm - Yes that is strange indeed. Could you maybe post an example link here? If the domain or filename is something sensitive, then just mask them out - all I'm interested in is seeing how the link is constructed.

Thanks so much

The website address (masked by *s) looks like the following:

https://bo****.hub.com/channel?Path=/LL/*****&Targ et=*

In it, there are a number of Excel files and Adobe PDF files with links as follow:


https://portal.*****.com/*****/portal/?action=acti on.doc&d=*******

When the mouse hovers over the link above, the link gives no indication that it is a .XLS or .PDF file.

Any workaround? If not, could you recommend another product from your company (or others)?

Thanks once again.

arnij,

Any idea above the above post by Anonymous? This is key to my decision to purchasing your software.
