download comic

a simple bash script which I sometimes use to download comics.

NOTE: it requires wget, soffice and pdfunite to run

pacman -S wget poppler libreoffice
apt install wget poppler-utils libreoffice

Installing

For the current user:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shivajichalise/dc/main/dc > ~/usr/local/bin/dc && chmod +755 ~/usr/local/bin/dc

Or simply copy the dc file to a location in your $PATH and make it executable.

Usage

• goto https://readcomicsfree.com/, search your desired comics and open a issue
• make sure you have selected 'All pages' from the listed dropdown options
• copy the url which will look like

https://readcomicsfree.com/comic/what-if-spider-man-vs-wolverine/issue-full/all

• execute the script

dc <url-here>
# example
dc https://readcomicsfree.com/comic/what-if-spider-man-vs-wolverine/issue-full/all

• it'll ask for a name, give an appropriate name
• wait till it completes executing
• enjoy

How it works

this script downloads every image from the given url, converts them into pdf and merges every pdf into a single one
