Scribd Downloader & Unblur
An Ultra-Fast and lightweight userscript that cleans up the Scribd reading interface, removes soft CSS blurs, and allows you to save publicly accessible documents as PDFs without needing to create an account.
Note: This script only formats publicly available document views and does not bypass actual paywalls or paid-only content.
Features
- Skip Signup Prompts: Read and save free, publicly accessible documents without registration overlays getting in the way.
- Remove Soft Blurs: Automatically clears CSS page blurs and promotional banners for unobstructed reading.
- Direct PDF Saving: Replaces native signup/download buttons and adds a floating Download PDF button in the bottom-right corner.
- Automated Print Formatting: Preloads all publicly available pages and images, adjusts page dimensions, and opens your browser's print dialog so you can cleanly save the document as a PDF.
- Ad & Clutter Removal: Strips advertisements and distracting UI elements from both the reader and the final PDF output.
Browser Compatibility & Installation
This script is fully compatible with both Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi) and Firefox.
