🔧 How It Works (For Developers)

🎯 Core Concept

Scribd's content is often accessible via the /embeds/ endpoint. This tool:

1. Extracts the document ID from the URL.
2. Wraps the content in a custom UI panel.
3. Automates Scrolling: Triggers lazy-loading of all pages.
4. Captures Images: Intercepts the .absimg elements from the DOM.
5. Generates PDF: Uses jsPDF to stitch images into a single document.
6. Background Survival: Uses a canvas + video stream in a PiP window to prevent the browser from throttling the script when the tab is hidden.
