I'm trying to download a .pdf document from the Internet Archive, but it doesn't seem to have a download option available. The file in question is here:

I'm not too clued up on coding but is there any way to grab it or download so I can save a local copy? I'd like to be able to read the whole thing, and borrowing it for an hour only to have to keep constantly renew it would be a major pain in the neck.

The web-based previewer is only returning two pages at a time, so it would need some coding to grab them all in bulk, assuming you don't hit rate limits.

 

Under download it says "14 day loan required to access PDF files." so maybe you can do that? I don't know what it involves.
