Introduction

Given a list of paper names, BatchPaperDownloader try to search their pdf versions on google and download.

It's still very naive, and cannot expect too much on it. Further more improvement can be made later.

Usage

1. Write paper names that you have interests on in paper_name.txt. One paper per line, such as :

   A novel discretization and numerical solver for non-fourier diffusion
   Anisotropic elasticity for inversion-safety and element rehabilitation
   Computational design and fabrication of soft pneumatic objects with desired deformations
   

2. Run step1_get_paper_links.py. This script will read paper_name.txt and try to get their pdf URL on google. The searched URLs are stored in paper_url.txt.

3. Run step2_download_pdf.py. It will download potential pdfs from recorded paper_url.txt. You will get many papers pdfs in current directory if it works!

4. Check fail.log and you can find the failure cases. You can download these failure cases manually.
