hi
if you want to download from Scribd.com first you should have a virtual printer on your operating system like PDFCreator or Adobe printer. then:

1. open the document you want to download in scribd.com.
for example this document:
https://www.scribd.com/doc/78958551/ASTM-A-106-2010

2.right click on the page and find "View Page Source" command and click on it. (my browser if Firefox). Page source will open.

3. find the "access_key" expression in the Page source (CRT+F). you will see expression like this:
access_key":" key-jvb37qv1h4tqd5lhvp6" (it is for my page, your page access key will be different).

4. now you have access key of your document. Your document id is in the page address of you document, for example for my above document:
https://www.scribd.com/doc/78958551/ASTM-A-106-2010

id is 78958551. Now you have your id and access key.

5. copy and Replace your id and Key with id and Key in below text:
http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=213763334&access_key=key-ly2k3t0wdv5qj61vyfm

6. after Replacement, copy above Text (in Step 5) and paste in your Browser and click enter.
7. the pages of your document will start to load. Wait until loading the last page then click Print in top-left of the page or CTR+P. then select your virtual printer (mine is PDFCreator) and print your document in pdf format.

In most cases this works.
Thanks.
