That's cool. If I had known about yours, I probably wouldn't have bothered, though it was kind of fun learning about Greasemonkey.
I made it in response to the comments here. It's kind of sad that for all the hacker/entrepreneurial spirit here, the default reaction is basically "try asking one more time" (there's even a couple of those in the comments on this post!). We had a poll, and people overwhelmingly voted to at least make it optional, so it's not like they don't know what we want.
So I did something about it. I'm tired of reading endless "Something should be done!" comments, when it's completely in our power to do Something. Here's a Something. You made a Something, too, so I respect that.
If it is, in the future, I'd suggest linking us directly to userscripts.org instead of to a .js. I think that you'll find people are perhaps squeamish about links to a .js file.
i like it where it shows it as an element in the page. but for large-screen viewing pdf viewer is better. maybe the autoscribding could show a link to the scribd page (eg http://www.scribd.com/doc/1469514/TOM-JERRY-dibuixos-per-pin...) instead of the full-screen thingie
Scribding PDFs here is the new page framing. Imagine if every link you submitted appears in a frame with some ads at the top? That would be annoying (and so 1996), I don't see the Scribd thing any differently here. I have _no_ problem downloading PDFs.

Pretty much the only reason I did this too. ;)
If you know arc (or want to learn) and are interested in doing this, email me at jared@scribd.
