download-gated-pdfs

Description

Download the actual PDF binary from bot-gated sites (taxpolicycenter.org, urban.org, SSRN-hosted mirrors, think-tank/publisher sites) via the Wayback Machine id_ URL form. Use when: (1) curl/WebFetch of a .pdf URL returns HTML instead of a PDF even with a browser User-Agent, (2) pypdf fails with "invalid pdf header: b'<!DOC'" or "EOF marker not found" on a freshly downloaded file, (3) Firecrawl can parse the PDF to markdown but you need the original file on disk (e.g., filing a reference copy). A reusable SKILL.md agent skill by kennethkhoocy.
