[Bioperl-l] Bio::DB::Biblio::PDF - incomplete?

[Allen Day]

Incomplete.  I wrote it to do some bulk scraping of PDFs a few years
ago.  I only implemented for a few journals, so it never worked for a
large fraction of publications.  Probably it barely works or does not
work at all now b/c of how the PDF are scraped out of the HTML.  The
publisher sites are always modifying their HTML, presumably trying to
prevent automated download like this.
