Hi,
I see that this is an old issue but I will reply.
For the first point, I think this is due to the fact that the course contains only youtube videos like you suspected.
Maybe combine it with --prefer-cdn-videos
parameter.
For the 2nd point, for now there is no way to merge into 1 PDF because resources are downloaded as is from the website (parsing HTML and look for all href to download). I suggest to use another tool to combine all PDF like PDFSamBasic
Hopes that help a bit Kind regards

Subject of the issue
I would like to download subtitles only and tried with several commands in Terminal as per the --help instructions, however I can't skip downloading videos. At this stage I don't want them, but only the subs. This is related to youtube-dl right? I tried extracting only "pdf" & "srt" & "vtt" with: (even though i saw that -s is for subtitles)
-f
--export-format
--file-formats
but it extracts everything.Is there a way for me to convert the course information (incl pictures, text etc) to a PDF and have a single PDF for a single course (w/o videos).
environment
Steps to reproduce
edx-dl COURSE_URL -u EMAIL -p PASSWORD --export-format "pdf" -s -o /location/to/download/
Expected behaviour
I though it would only extract pdf or srt or whatever i specify.
Actual behaviour
Extracts everything
