How To Download Issuu File

Issuu website

  • You can download the magazine by opening the page into full screen mode. At the top of the window will be a menu that appears when you hover over that area. All the way to the right, choose the icon second to last and that is a drop down menu that has an option to download the magazine.
  • Login to your Issuu account, select the UPLOAD icon or click ADD CONTENT button from Side Navigation Menu (This will take you to the Publishing Workspace) Click SELECT FILE TO UPLOAD or simply drag your file into the box; Once you have selected a file, it will go through different steps of the conversion process.

Sorry just saw this now, save it as a .rb file, and run it from terminal on your computer.
(you may need to install the mechanize and prawn gem if you don't have them already...)
