Download Google Drive protected PDF without TrustedScriptURL error at higher resolution

Easy step by step guide to download view only PDF from Google Drive - no TrustedScriptURL error and better quality


  1. Open the document in Google Docs
  2. Zoom in 2 times using Ctrl and + (VERY IMPORTANT!)
  3. Open Developer Tools
  4. Hit Ctrl + R to reload the document.
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the document to load all pages.
  6. To check if all pages are loaded, go to "Network" tab, type "img" in search bar. At the bottom bar you see "xx/yyy requests", "xx" must be equal to document's pages; if not scroll up to load missing pages
  7. Go to "Console" tab
  8. Paste the updated and improved script (download_pdf.js) that avoids TrustedScriptURL error and allows better file's quality

If you want to download the file at lower resolution or you have issues with zoom method, use lowres_download.js script.

Just use Fireshot Chrome extension & take Full Page screenshot. Save it as a PDF & then go use https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF (this final step of getting OCR didnt work for me)
