Downlading PDF files from Office Intranet - indrav761 - Jun-29-2019

I am new to Phython and learning on the job. I am seeking guidance on one issue that I am facing at the moment at my workplace. We have a in house General Ledger which publishes daily some recon reports in PDF format for about 25 files. Currently we are downloading them manually and I am trying to automate using Python to download those files without manual intervention.

I am seeking guidance or advise on how to proceed further to work out this. We use Active Directory login details to log into our general ledger.

Any guidance/advice is really appreciated.

Very simple scraping project.
I suggest you take a look at: Web-Scraping Part1
and Web-Scraping Part 2

You can use requests library. If there is javascript blocking you from that, then there is selenium.
