# scraper-cumincadPDF

Batch download PDFs from CuminCAD for each series e.g ACADIA

Prerequisite

BeautifulSoup (type on your Command Prompt 'pip install Beautifulsoup')

To execute the code

Choose the series you want to scrape e.g "ACADIA".
You also have to create a folder for your series in the same place the python code is saved.
For example C:\Users\yourName\Desktop\scraper-cumincadPDF\ACADIA
Go to cumincad.org and check what is the total number of papers in that series.
Then assign this value to totalNumberPapers

You are good to go.

If the code stops and you want to continue from the last downloaded paper

Go to the series folder your created earlier and see how many files are there.
Assign this value to papersAlreadyDownloaded.

In case the code doesn't find a pdf for the paper

Sometimes the pdf is missing, or simply there is no pdf at all. In this case, the code generates a .txt file with the information available.
