hi all,

i've used automator for very simple projects, like batch resizing, batch renaming and the like.

however, what i'd really like to do is set up system where at a pre-appointed time every day, my computer visits a newspaper website, downloads the digital edition as a pdf (there is a clickable link to do this), then uploads said pdf onto my idisk.

then all i need to do is download it on my iPad. that i can manage!

am i able to do this with automator? am i able to do this at all?

many thanks in advance.
 
This is the workflow you need:

Get Specified URLs
Download URLs (choose your iDisk).

Nice and simple 🙂
