Get PDF from table on website

[brandy71]

I want to download content from a table of a website (https://www.evergabe-online.de/tenderdocuments.html?22&id=523744).

The PDF I want is embedded in the HTML text like this:

the direct URL (https://www.evergabe-online.de/tenderdocuments.html?29--documentsTableContainer-documentsTable-tenderDocumentsTable-documentList-8-downloadLink&documentsTableContainer-documentsTable-tenderDocumentsTable-documentList-8-downloadLink&id=523744) is not working for me.

Can this be done without Selenium node?
I already used free trial and cannot or don’t want to afford it for a students project.

Hi @brandy71 -

In the latest version of KNIME AP 5.1, under KNIME Labs, we released our own Selenium nodes. This is very new so we don’t have a ton of documentation on it yet, but there is an example workflow (which if you’re already familiar with Selenium, maybe you can adapt):

There is also the fancy new Selenium Recording Player node, which allows you to record and save your clicks on a webpage. I haven’t tried it out myself but hope to soon. Maybe it could also help you?
