# ZiniGo
A tool written in Go for saving (legally purchased) magazines from Zinio as DRM-free PDFs.
## Precompiled binaries
ZiniGo can be downloaded for Windows and Linux at https://github.com/TheAxeDude/ZiniGo/tree/master/built
## Usage
./zinigo -u=Username -p=Password [-c=/path/to/chrome/executable]
You can also add these properties to a config file in the working directory, instead of passing them in manually. See the sample at https://github.com/TheAxeDude/ZiniGo/blob/master/config.json
You can use `-playwright=true` to use Playwright to run the tests. It'll download a browser in the background.
## Requirements
No specific dependencies need to be installed, however you can specify the location of the chrome executable to be used rendering the PDF.
If using a pre-installed chrome, the command `google-chrome` should work, or a location of the Chrome executable should be passed in via the `-c` parameter.
## How it works
ZiniGo logs into Zinio, and pulls a list of all issues purchased.
Each page is available as an SVG, which is then injected into an HTML page (based on template.html).
PlayWright (or google-chrome) is then used to print the page to PDF, and all pages are combined into a single PDF.
## Building
Build for linux & windows on windows using the powershell script in buildscripts
