Download files from URL

[Pegaso]

<article>

Hello All,

I have a list of URLs that each one opens a webpage were an undetermined number of files (.pdf) are stored, I cannot anticipate the names of the files. I need a macro to go through each of those pages and automatically download all the files present there, save them in a local folder.

I had found solutions when the name of the file is known, but this is not my case, I hope somebody can help.

Warmest regards!

Usually u can look at the HTML source code and search for the <href> tag that contains url which unique for downloading purposes.
If not, try to search the url one by one (which is like Internet Download Manager's coding), validate if it the url wont give the download dialog, skip.
Yes making this program wont be easy, because its the coding that originally made by IDM.
Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks W,

Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to anticipate the URLs of the files are of different nature (.pdf, ,DOC, docx, etc..), the link displays the file, but only the .pdf files could be saved using the Acrobat dialog box that appears in the bottom, for the rest it would be required to select all, copy and paste to a new document, then save it.

By the way I asked the same question along other forums, should I load links to those as well?

Rgds!

if you ever post it in another board/forum, You should give the links too.
You can validate it by validating the url or the downloaded file. *_.pdf would do the trick
