Perlego to PDF Downloader

About

Simple Chrome extension designed to help users save publicly available, copyright-free, public-domain Perlego books as PDF documents.

Many websites display open-access documents, brochures, catalogs, manuals, educational materials, or public-domain books using flipbook viewers instead of direct PDF files. This extension helps users capture visible flipbook pages and combine them into a PDF for easier offline reading, personal archiving, study, or documentation.

The extension works directly in the browser and is intended only for lawful use with content that users are allowed to save, such as public-domain materials, copyright-free publications, open-access resources, or documents made freely available by their owners.

It does not remove DRM, does not bypass paywalls, does not access private content, and does not unlock restricted documents.

How It Works

Open the book or flipbook to read in Chrome.
Click the extension icon.
Click on SCAN to Start the capture process.
The extension captures the visible pages.
When finished, it combines the captured pages into a PDF file.
Save the PDF on your device.
