Do Boring Things With Python (PDF File Downloader) by Naijaepic: 10:14am On Dec 15, 2016
Good morning here, Guru's. I just launched and released an experimental python software titled "pdf-crawler-downloader"
This is a python based application that was extended to use Tkinter Module for GUI.

So, basically, what does it do?
If you had found yourself in a situation where by, you wishes to SEARCH and DOWNLOAD pdf files on a particular topic or you wishes to do a blind search and download any particular PDF document for your favorite programming Ebook. then, you have got the right tools as this PDFcrawler will do the headache for you.

All of you that had visited allitebook, wowebook etc in the past and you can not access the url again will find a solace with this software, because it will search sites you have never heard before. The end result of this software activities is that it will download for you multiple copies or different edition of same works/documents.

Make Sure, you have enough MB to download your desire Ebooks. Enjoy

Yes, you can call it "PDF Bot/Spider" if you like, because all what that is required is for you to enter the search term/keyword, the crawler will go a head to search for all copies of the file on the internet and download it.

You can always stop it, when you had have enough of it work. It will definitely start at where it stop.

Feedback and comment are welcome.

Please read through the TODO list for future feature

Nice one bro. I think you should add functions this to your TODO
- Allow users to select the particular PDFs to download
In other words, when I search I expect to see a list of available PDFs. After which I can check the items I am interested in downloading.
- Allow users to specifiy download based on file size.( i.e download only files > or < xMB)
