I didn't realise you could download forums. Just checked and it is possible to print from browser tab to a pdf. Does that help?

Yes, I only gave it a try recently when I wanted to search for the comments of a particular member in a thread in the Open Discussion club. At first I was getting only the generic club profile page HTML but then I realised I needed to make the club forum public temporarily and it worked. You can search pages in a topic in a fraction of the time it takes conventionally.
No such problem in the public forums of course because they're fully accessible in much the same way as the public API. But the site seems to have configured club notes a little differently because I'm receiving 403 errors even when I make them public.
There aren't many clubs with public notes but I found this one...
https://www.chess.com/club/notes/team-sofia
I just wonder if it's possible to obtain some form of permission to access features like that?
Not sure downloading pages as .pdf docs would be much quicker than copy+paste of the web pages? I need some means of automating the page fetching becuse it's the manual trawling through pages that I'd like to avoid.
Is it possible to download a club's notes in the same way it is a forum topic?
I've made the notes in my club 'public' temporarily but when I request a (web) page I'm receiving a HTTP 403 response - access not allowed.
I'm puzzled because if I'm allowed to do a similar thing in any topic in my club, why not for club notes?
