SAP TechEd 2024 Virtual session material download

A few years ago I posted about a SAP TechEd session material downloader. The way to get access to the session catalog changed and the download won’t work without adjustments for SAP TechEd 2024. Unfortunately, on the event page there is no all-in-one downloader available. The current way to download the PDFs is to access each session individually and download the PDF manually. As this is consuming some time, I came up with a solution that makes this easier.

I created a project (GitHub) that shows you how to download the session PDFs. There are two ways:

1. Go through the readme step by step, starting by logging in to the TechEd site, searching the catalog to download the PDFs or
2. Use the fact that the PDF’s are publicly available to anonymous users and only the URL must be known to access them. For instance, the link to access the PDF for session AD100.

Following step 2, all that is needed to start the download is to download the file pdfurls.txt and run wget:

wget --content-disposition -i pdfurls.txt
