Hi, new to DevonThink here.
I am trying to automate the download of a number of PDFs from a ProQuest repository (I will then OCR them and run a number of Text Analysis scripts on them).
I tried to add the main URL in the DM, but for some reason, even after logging into ProQuest from DevonThink, DT won’t download the files linked (it’s not a permission issue because it does download a number of paratextual and contextual multimedia).
So I scraped a list of download links (“Full text - PDF”) for those PDF files, and stored them in a CSV file… but adding them one by one in the Download Manager kind of defeats the purpose of using a DM. I was wondering if there’s a way to import a list of URLs into the Download Manager.
I found a past thread (“one-step multi-site archiving from list of URLs” sorry, I’m not allowed to post link on the forum) where they suggested a solution, but if I try and compile a script in AppleScript using that code, nothing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Stefano
