Print-to-PDF is locked down. There’s a print option as part of the software, but it slaps my student email diagonally across every single page, which makes reading it kind of obnoxious.

I don’t intend to distribute (which I’m assuming is why it’s locked up so tight), but needing to log in and navigate to the text is getting cumbersome, so I’m hoping to just save a chapter at a time to my phone and whip that out to tackle my reading assignments.

Also hoping to preserve images, since a lot of the info is charts and such, so PDF seems like the best target, but open to any ideas.

…I suppose I could just suck it up and deal with their annoying software, but at this point I hate to admit defeat lol.

    If you wanted to grab a page or two could you print screen it?

    If it’s more than that I’d probably cross post this to a piracy community. I know that’s not your goal but the methods would probably be the same.

      Naw, that’d be legit thousands of screenshots by the time this program is through… there’s a LOT of reading. The book loads a full chapter at a time, so if I could somehow export the entire chapter all in one bite, that’d be a lot more manageable… I really hate how restricted this shit is - I paid full price for the damn thing!!

      Piracy community… not a bad idea!
