To spare others searching the man, you can download the pdfs to the current directory
wget -r -np -nd -l 1 -A pdf http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/\~atri/courses/coding-theory/book/
and combine them
pdftk $(ls *.pdf | sort -V) cat output essential-coding-theory.pdf
thus hastening the first draft.
BTW would the resulting essential-coding-theory.pdf be a derivative work under CC BY-NC-ND 3.0?
- noblethrasher 12y agoThe wget command (Win32) didn't work for me until I removed the backslash in the URL.
- spindritf 12y agoOh, yeah, sorry. That's some zsh automagic. Maybe wget -r -np -nd -l 1 -A pdf "http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~atri/courses/coding-theory/book/" would be more portable?
- tunnuz 12y agoLove you guys :)
