OK.  I accept your video as legit.  For now :)
I checked into the conversion utility I use.  It has *as an option*
what I assumed would be standard: don't process javascript.  I turned
off javascript and got an immediate speed increase.  I fiddled with
various options to GNU parallel and now have it processing 58 files in
102 seconds. (Not sure why it's 58 now instead of 59) There is also an
additional option to the conversion utility to not bring down images,
so with no images it jumps to 58 files in 49 seconds.  All of this is
without digging into my own code for improvements, and surely there
will be some there.  The formatted page without images is actually nice.
But I would think a photo of the food would be desired.  Have you gotten
yours to get all 58(59?) recipes yet?

My PDFs are in the 300-800KB range vs your <100KB files.  That probably
accounts for some of the sluggishness here.  (Down to 98 sec now).

While debugging, I had the html files sitting already downloaded and it
was actually slower for some reason.

Watch the URL bar while you're scrolling.

Mine don't have any links after I strip the javascript.  It's not that
there are dead links -- all the crap from the html version is stripped
off.  It's nice and clean.

The title bar was odd.

I grab all three.  Originally I just got the first twenty on page 1, but
you mentioned that there were more, so I just get them all.

It's possibly just an image on these pages.  I tested the utility on
another site and it produced a pdf that had text that is at least
selectable for copy/paste.  Links don't work.  I'll have to play
with this some more and find out.  Images would explain the huge
file size.

For the three site pages, yeah.  That's the only way to get them all.
Doesn't matter to me if we limit it to just the 20 on page 1.

Text is selectable on some pages generated by this utility.
But not on these particular ones.

Can you copy and paste the text?
On mine it looks like a selection block, but copy/paste doesn't work.

I am responsible only for my actions, and my actions are honest. If you wish
to believe my weird "fan" club about my "unquotable lies" then so be it.

And you have still not shared your script. Why not?

First I was trying to do the page down thing where I would look for a
changed URL. Now I just have the other two pages hard coded. Seems like a
complete cheat, but so be it.

OK, so a "real" PDF with text. Fair enough. Odd yours are so big then.

That is weird. Any theories? Mine is selectable with each tool.

Yes... both tools. Had not checked that before... but knew selection worked.
If selection works why wouldn't copy and paste?

It appears to be related to this problem (which oddly is in reference
to an OS X version):

You are spending a LOT more time on yours than I did mine... but yours will
likely also be a lot "cleaner". Mine is a bit of a mess, but as we saw it
works well.

Once you share yours I will make my video public:
<https://youtu.be/TH3rKDAAvsc>

Looking at my script again I could have made it a LOT easier. Might test
that tomorrow and then have a MUCH better script. But whatever... it works.

Ouch! Yeah, that is pretty broken.

Also gives me a new tool to try... and with that can just toss it into my
AppleScript which would be a lot more efficient.

Hmmm... I can also script Paparazzi that way.... which might have been more
efficient, too. It does not have the ability to turn JavaScript off.

If I do try this tool it will break my self-imposed "rule" of not installing
any software I did not already have. I *did* update some, but all of this is
stuff I already had.

Because there's apparently a bug in wkhtmltopdf.  (Huge file sizes).

The code should work on OS X with the zenity stuff commented out.
Curious if the wkhtmltopdf bug is still present in the OS X
version.  At the time it was mentioned, the thing apparently
worked fine for Linux.  Now I'm seeing what appears to be
that same situation that was described for the OS X version,
but on Linux.

#!/bin/sh

date=`date`
#zenity --notification --text="starting... ${date}"
stime=`date +%s`

if [ ! -e ~/Recipes ];then
mkdir ~/Recipes
fi

html="$(parallel --no-notice -P 3 -N 3 wget -q {1} {2} {3} ::: \
allrecipes.com -O - \
allrecipes.com/?page=2 -O - \
allrecipes.com/?page=3 -O -)"

recipelines=$( echo "${html}" |grep /recipe/ \
|perl -e 'while(<>){ $x=$_;$x=~s/^.*<a href=\"//g; $x=~s/\".*//g;print $x;}' \
|uniq) 

filenames=$(echo "${recipelines}" |cut -f4 -d'/')

parallel --no-notice -P 8 -N 1 --xapply \
wkhtmltopdf -q -n \

echo "${rate} seconds per file"

Definitely something you would not expect a non-programmer to do.

But on OS X I, as a non-programmer, was able to anyway... and end up with
smaller files and get them faster. :)

Try it with wkhtmltopdf and see what kind of times/sizes you get.

Holy cow. Just tried:

wkhtmltopdf 
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/242291/easy-broccoli-bacon-salad/print test.pdf

Did not use any switches... took forever and, like yours, the file is a bit
of a mess. 338 KB and text that is hard to select. Oddly enough, though,
when I do select it I can copy and paste it and use my services on it... so
it is "real" text. Weird.

So use a different tool. I have tried two of them... and still have
wkhtmltopdf if I wanted. I have a self-imposed "rule" to not install any new
software for these tasks - though if I had to I would break it and note it
publicly. As I have said, I have updated software I already had but not
installed anything I did not have at all before.

Looking at the site, it is. I even downloaded the file but did not install
it. Was thinking of playing with it.

Thanks... will dig through that later. And, as promised, my very messy one
is now made public: <https://youtu.be/TH3rKDAAvsc>.

It is outdated and refers to you not trusting - you have now said you accept
it.

Also added a new one which shows the script with the pre-set URLs... and it
breaks down my time for each step (and the script has been updated some).

WHere does that string "?internalSource" appear?  I don't see it in
any of the html.

Mine does that.

wkhtmltopdf *should* do that, but does not.  Some of these where
nearly 1MB.

wkhtmltopdf generates *some* text that is selectable.
Just not for that text where it has to do that crazy vector
font stuff.

If you look at the link you get when you click on an image you will see
it... the grab Link URLs shows that.

Ah, yes... I see in your videos it does.

So use another choice. Isn't one of the big advantages to Linux choice? I
used two other choices and then only used wkhtmltopdf later to test it....
and, yes, it sorta sucks.

Are you willing to share one of your files? Curious if it is the same as
mine where the text is slow and odd to select but I still select it as text.
wkhtmltopdf just seems a lousy tool.

allrecipes.com owns the copyright to those files.  I can't publish them.
