Description

This module downloads PDF documents and extracts the author's
name from the document metadata.

This module expects a URL to be provided using the URL option.
Alternatively, multiple URLs can be provided by supplying the
path to a file containing a list of URLs in the URL_LIST option.

The URL_TYPE option is used to specify the type of URLs supplied.

By specifying 'pdf' for the URL_TYPE, the module will treat
the specified URL(s) as PDF documents. The module will
download the documents and extract the authors' names from the
document metadata.

By specifying 'html' for the URL_TYPE, the module will treat
the specified URL(s) as HTML pages. The module will scrape the
pages for links to PDF documents, download the PDF documents,
and extract the author's name from the document metadata.
