Images in PDF
Hello, when we try to scrape a PDF, it gets image links for correct locations but the links are sadly not working which results on the response in the image. What can we do?

Hmm, they must use short-term image links when rendering their PDFs. I logged a feature request for Firecrawl to host the images for you and return those instead. I'll let you know if/when we implement it.
Thank you! @micah.stairs We are using one of these plans, not sure but if enterprise can help for that, please let us know, so that we can contact you
Nothing to do with enterprise! If we build this feature, we would likely include it as a general feature.
Thank you! @micah.stairs great to hear
Hello @micah.stairs is there any workaround we can do till it is released?
Maybe doing multiple calls etc.
Hmm I can't think of a good workaround, since the issue is that the site serving the PDF is only using short-lived links to render the images (if I'm understanding the issue correctly).
If you share the PDF URL, I will take a closer look to confirm.
Example PDF: the-guild.eu/publications/position-papers/the-guild-s-position-paper-on-the-use-of-ai-in-research_nov2024.pdf
THE URL to image: https://www.the-guild.eu/publications/position-papers/images/23dc0b86a720a02fff852d34bed200c17e190396db045212a3403fbc93491909.jpg
It is actually happening for any PDF I am trying
Oh thanks for flagging! We will definitely dig into this.
