I would like to use Automator to automatically download multiple PDF
files that are published daily and stored according to the date of
publication. The format for the URL is as follows:
http://www.somesite.com/issue/YYYY/MM/DD/X.pdf where
YYYY = Year (e.g. 2009)
MM = 2-digit Month (e.g. 08)
DD = 2-digit Day (e.g. 24)
X = pagenumber (e.g. 1)
Example: http://www.somesite.com/issue/2009/04/25/1.pdf
Ideally, I would like Automator to ask me for a date (and fill in
today's date as a default in the above format) and ask for how many
pages to download. Then to loop through the number of pages and
download the PDFs to pre-specified folder on my Mac.
Any pointers on how to do this?
Thanks.
