download actual PDFs? #2

Think there is any way to automate download the actual pdfs from the pocketmags reader?

Right now you use the pocketmags online reader, hit the printer icon, select up to 2 pages and hit 'download pdf'. It then sends you to blob:https://pocketmags.com/{some guid} which is a pdf instead of jpg. This is the absolute highest quality of the magazine, it is possible to download entire issues in this way, but it is incredibly slow because it has to be done manually.

I have now managed to implement downloading what you describe as 'the actual pdfs' of the entire magazine in one go. This is possible with the new --quality=original option. I've also added an option for hiding the User UUID watermark that is otherwise printed on each page of the magazine when the magazine is downloaded this way.
