Downloading Flash Magazines? (Hustler)

**john13** · July 13th, 2015, 02:20 AM

I'm a member of the Hustler magazine site and I'd really like to download some issues and post them here.

Unfortunately the magazines are in Flash format and I'm not sure how to save them to my computer -- or even if they can be saved.

Does anyone have any idea how to save Flash magazine files and, if possible, convert them to PDFs?

I don't know squat about converting file formats but be aware in the Magazine Scans section archives must be posted as individual pages and not just as a .pdf (or any other) file.

You could use Windows' snipping tool:

Thanks folks. Snipping individual images sounds like about as much fun as counting sand grains in an egg timer.

Oh well. But the site's actually pretty good: $10 for a fun, easy-to-use saunter down memory lane, even if they haven't bothered posting pictorial out-takes. I sure wish Penthouse would get their act together and do something similar with their material -- full interactive magazine scans rather than just random piles of pictures.

I notice the main Hustler site is $35, what site are you a member of?

*Never mind, I found it!*

john, there is a option that says "Download full zip" when you click on an imageset from the magazine. Should be easy enough

No, there's no download link. Remember, this is the Hustler magazine site, not the general Hustler site. This how it all looks:

I did actually find some sort of PDF-grabber, but at this stage it all looks like a big pain in the ass. I don't have time to load up each magazine, run the PDF-grabber, then edit the stuff I want from the magazines (50% of Hustler is just space-hogging ads for 1-800 numbers).

That said, it was fun checking out the old magazines. And Penthouse needs to get its act together and do the same!
