does anybody know or can possibly recommend a tool where can i scrape pdf files? content that is in pdf format, i need a tool where i can automate one page and scrape all of their pdf files per page on a website, i've been looking around but still have not really seen a lot. please help. thanks.
 
not exactly sure what you're looking for. You mean a script that can take a list of pdf files and download them all?

a script, or a software, or any kind as long as i can download pdf files from a website.
 
Go to Google and type the following in the search box:

Code:
"product name here" filetype:pdf

Note: Above, where it says Product Name, type in the name of the product or you can try by partial name. For instance:

Code:
"affiliiate" filetype:pdf

You might do that if you were looking for a PDF product that had the word "affiliate" in it.

Just play around with it. You will be surprised at the stuff you will find :)

Wiz, thank you for this code, i've done exactly that and it works really great! a good addition to my scraping of the product i am looking for. how about this, if there is one or two sites i've seen and targetting this specific sites and i want to scrape all their files in pdf format like there are about hundreds of them, is there a tool where i can do this automated and not manually? and then also maybe i can scrape those files through ftp if possible?

You can probably use this method below + url extractor and create a macro to visit each link and download the ebook...
