No luck. That extension only saves a single 'screen' worth as a PDF, not the entire webpage as it advertises. I'd guess this is more the fault of the textbook restrictions than any actual issue with the extension.
Tried a few similar ones, and they either did the same thing, or saved that print preview I mentioned earlier (so, effectively just a shortcut to print-to-pdf).
I may just be SOL.
This makes me want to seed a torrent of it or something if/when I find a working option, just out of spite. >_<
What's the website? I may be able to look at it tomorrow. Is it school-specific or one of those generic online document viewers?
Try throwing NoScript at it? But that will probably just break the entire page.

Not sure if that link will actually be useful - you'll need a login to actually get to a textbook.
Unsure how to do that... I see extensions with that name - try those?
Noscript is another addon, it blocks Javascript completely. You probably won't be able to log in, but it's worth a shot.
I just looked at the Elsevier page, it looks like what I expected. I'm sure there's a way to get the docs, I just don't have much access right now to search for it. My last recommendation is to try and find the book on a torrent site. My second last recommendation is to ask at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (I don't know if that link will work) if someone knows about Elsevier, they're pretty helpful, and you're just trying to read a book you already have access to.
Good luck.

Some websites will fall back to a "simple" version when the javascript they prefer isn't allowed. it's good design. My guess is that these parasites will design their website without such accessibility principals and prevent you from using it except on their terms. But it's worth a shot.
Yea it just throws an error saying to enable javascript. It's sounding like piracy will be the best option, lol.
