This isn’t necessarily directed at you, but just an expression of frustration with the enshittified web:
I don’t know what that link is, but a link to a PDF is one whose url ends in .pdf and, when clicked, downloads a file that you can then open and display in your PDF rendering software of choice. It does not open a motherfucking HTML file that displays the document along with some other Google Docs UI bullshit that prevents you from downloading the actual PDF file properly!
In this instance I don’t think that’s so much of a bad thing, as pdf’s have something of a security risk with them. However mostly it was my wording that was wrong, I didn’t mean to imply Google was hosting a pdf, the pdf is on Discord.

There is a url on Discord directly to the pdf, it tried to stop me but I managed to copy it using a mouse gesture extension, and I’ve trimmed the tracker fluff at the end: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/774119166931894272/1066138917939728494/DS9_-_Final_Workflow.pdf
Awesome, thanks!
…wow, that is a much more manual and complicated workflow than I expected. I thought it was going to be more like a batch-process script or something.
