Ok so I want to download this embedded PDF/document in order to physically print it. The website allows me to view it as much as I want, but is asking me to fork over 25 + tax USD so i can download the document.

Obviously, i don't want to do that, so I try to download the embedded document via inspect element. But, the weird thing is it not actually loading a pdf, but like really small pictures of each page:

So, my question is basically how can I download this document in order to print it?

OP, I did it: https://files.catbox.moe/6eofj6.pdf

I will edit my reply with linux specifics.

My link was updated with a slightly better PDF. Comparison on max zoom: https://files.catbox.moe/5q3v4b.png A person with a 4k display could make better, but that's what my screen is capable of.

Either way, it was a fun puzzle for my entry knowledge of linux\python\macroses and I feel I'll use this method a couple of times myself. Hope someone would make use of it.
