How to download view only PDF (protected) from Google Drive (JS code)

To download a view-only protected PDF from Google Drive, you can use JavaScript code. The code will create a new PDF file that contains the contents of the view-only PDF.

Here are the steps involved in downloading a view-only protected PDF from Google Drive using JavaScript code:

1. To begin, open the document in Google Docs.

2. Next, scroll to the bottom of the document so that all pages are visible.

3. In a separate window, open the Developer Tools and select the Console tab.

4. Paste the code below into the console and press Enter.

let jspdf = document.createElement( "script" ); jspdf.onload = function () { let pdf = new jsPDF(); let elements = document.getElementsByTagName( "img" ); for ( let i in elements) { let img = elements[i]; if (!/^blob:/.test(img.src)) { continue ; } let canvasElement = document.createElement( 'canvas' ); let con = canvasElement.getContext( "2d" ); canvasElement.width = img.width; canvasElement.height = img.height; con.drawImage(img, 0, 0,img.width, img.height); let imgData = canvasElement.toDataURL( "image/jpeg" , 1.0); pdf.addImage(imgData, 'JPEG' , 0, 0); pdf.addPage(); } pdf.save( "download.pdf" ); }; jspdf.src = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.2/jspdf.min.js' ; document.body.appendChild(jspdf);

5. The PDF should now be downloaded.
