Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations or advice on Scribd downloader tools. I often use Scribd for research and reading, but sometimes I need offline access to documents. I’m aware that downloading content might breach Scribd’s terms of service, but I'm seeking a legal way to download files that I have permission to access.

Can anyone suggest tools or methods that are compliant with Scribd’s policies, or share their experiences with the Scribd API for saving documents legally? Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
