Hi Tomas,

I have just discovered that my fake wget was buggy too, it was
corrupting files... then I followed the first half of your idea - "use
eww" - and I got this, which worked well:

  (require 'eww)
  ;; See: (find-efunction 'eww-download)

  (find-sh0 "rm -v ~/Coetzee99.pdf")
  (setq url 
"https://tannerlectures.utah.edu/_resources/documents/a-to-z/c/Coetzee99.pdf";)
  (url-retrieve url #'eww-download-callback (list url "~/"))
  (find-pdf-page "~/Coetzee99.pdf")

Cheers,
  E. ...
