Instructions on how to download from CreativePark without “Canon Print” nor CanonID

[u/cheddar_triffle]

As some of you may know, as of September 29th 2025, the Canon Creative Park website now requires the Canon Print software – which itself requires a Canon printer to be turned on and connected to your computer/phone/tablet (I think) – to download and print papercraft listed on their website.

They did give warning for this, but I didn’t realise just how restrictive it would be. I do not own a Canon printer. I had previously saved roughly 30 entries from their catalogue. However, I now realise that I would like access to more of them.

As expected, the barriers to downloading the PDF files are almost nonexistent, all they have done is remove the PDF’s URL from the download page. There is no authorization or authentication required to download any of the files.

I have found a trivial way to download the PDF’s, and you don’t need to be signed in nor do you even need a CanonID for any of the files.

All you must do is find the entries “contentsId” and then affix that to a base URL. With a suffix for the design and the instructions. The base URL was found with a single Google search – “site: https://creativepark.canon filetype:pdf”

I have created a simple single click bookmarklet which will attempt to download both the pattern and the instructions.

1. Bookmark any page (doesn’t have to be a Canon Creative Park page), ideally in your browsers bookmark toolbar.
2. Edit the bookmark (right click “Edit Bookmark” or “Edit” depending on which browser you are using).
3. Re-title the bookmark something like “Canon PDF Download”

4. Replace the url with this code:

   javascript:(function(){const i=document.querySelector('meta[name="contentsId"]').content;const firstDownloadArea=document.querySelector('div.downloadArea');const d=firstDownloadArea?firstDownloadArea.querySelectorAll('div.downloadBtn').length:0;const t=d===0?1:d;const u=[];for(let n=1;n<=t;n++){const s=n.toString().padStart(2,'0');u.push('https:/'+'/creativepark.canon/downloads/contents/'+i+'/'+i+'-'+s+'.pdf')}u.forEach(e=>{const a=document.createElement('a');a.href=e;a.download='';document.body.appendChild(a);a.click();document.body.removeChild(a)})})()

5. Now when you visit a design page, like this one, which apparently needs a CanonID, all you have to do is click the “Canon PDF Download” bookmarklet, and the both the design and instructions will be downloaded.

If using a Chrome based browser you may need to click “allow” on the popup that says “Download Multiple Files”

The bookmarklet should even work for pages with multiple "print" links.

If you really wanted to, you could create a simple bash script to check every file name from 0000000 to 0032181, starting with the suffix -01.pdf and so on. You could even run the requests in parallel without the fear of any rate limiting. You might just end up with around 40gb of PDF’s.

EDIT: The bookmarklet has been improved.

EDIT: as of 2025-10-29 it appears to no longer work. This is four weeks after the initial change, we can only hope it's a temporary error

EDIT: As of 2026-01-14 nayeet has created a new bookmarklet which now works again!

EDIT: 2026-03-27 There's now a free and easy website/service to automatically download Canon PDF's, just paste the url, and then the direct links to the PDF's will be listed: https://download.clean-fog7772.workers.dev

[u/[deleted]]

I come bearing gifts. I reverse engineered the canon print app, and was able to create a new working bookmarklet. You need to use their endpoint to get a signed url for a given resource, then request it from there.

I also archived the entire papercraft section. If someone has suggestions on a place to store around 8 GB i can post them. Alternatively I have a python script that runs the archival process. If anyones interested i can put that up on github.

Anyways here is the bookmarklet, used the same way is the one in the post above!

javascript:(async function(){const c=document.querySelector('meta[name="contentsId"]')?.content;if(!c){alert('Could not find content ID!');return;}const API_KEY='GRjzhvC0X642q42TO2htj5zS2uXGOnwW7gW1lkuV';const API='https://creativepark.canon/api/v1/content';async function getUrl(fid){try{const r=await fetch(API,{method:'POST',headers:{'accept':'*/*','content-type':'application/json','x-api-key':API_KEY},body:JSON.stringify({contentsId:c,fileId:fid})});if(!r.ok)return null;const d=await r.json();return d?.data?.signedurl;}catch(e){return null;}}let n=0;for(let i=1;i<=10;i++){const fid=`${c}-${String(i).padStart(2,'0')}`;const url=await getUrl(fid);if(!url)break;const a=document.createElement('a');a.href=url;a.download=`${fid}.pdf`;document.body.appendChild(a);a.click();document.body.removeChild(a);n++;await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,300));}alert(n>0?`Downloading ${n} file(s) for ${c}`:`No files found for ${c}`)})();

So there's not gonna end up being a mega thread or google drive for everything I'm guessing? This really sucks for everyone who doesn't own a Canon printer, or any printer really I don't like canons decision on this since I used the dioramas to make displays for work all the time

[u/Silent_Climate_1152 → u/GayBitchBoy-420]

This sucks for people that OWN a canon printer. I have one, I do not want to make an account OR print it out, I want a copy to print and build later.

[u/CATusedHANGRYSCREAM]

I don't think this works anymore? I did this and it asks me to download, but then it says "CNT-0011928-01.htm - File wasn't available on site."

The stupid thing is that I HAVE a Canon printer, it loads the document in the Print app (garbage app), says it's loading the content from Creative Park, and then it just... spins and spins and spins. Never prints while the printer is in fact connected to the app.

I hate you Canon. Going through a rough time, finally arsed myself to get up and do something to try and feel better, and now I have to figure out your stupid new fucking setup. It's been hours already trying to troubleshoot this...

[u/sonic_anon_hog]

After some investigation of the page source, I confirmed that the URLs are still the same, but the server now checks for some request header sent by the Canon Print application and denies access by other applications. 

It would be nice if someone could sniff those packets to know what HTTP request the application makes so we can duplicate it.

[u/metalwaver26]

Hello bro! Would you have it via Google Drive so that it can be downloaded by all?

[u/Little_Goal3474]

WOW thanks a lot

[u/Soft-Sign6043]

IT WORKS!!!

[u/Limeade804]

Edit: I now have the pdf files, thank you! ...I was able to download most of what I was going to make before the workaround stopped. Does anyone have the Miniature world Dwarf house or Tree house as a PDF they can share? https://creativepark.canon/en/contents/CNT-0031086/index.html

[u/Nakakapagpabagabags → u/Limeade804]

I have that one here:

https://gofile.io/d/T42xNN

I'm also looking for another file: https://creativepark.canon/en/contents/CNT-0020894/index.html

[u/Limeade804 → u/Nakakapagpabagabags]

Yes I have the files if you still need them

[u/Acceptable_Air3859]

Czy mógłbym prosić o link do wszystkich pobranych plików? Widziałem, że pisałeś, że masz 40 GB plików, przydałoby się, bo nie mam za bardzo co robić. Byłbym bardzo wdzięczny :)

[u/sonic_anon_hog]

Figured out how to get access to the PDFs again.

Just open a document with the Canon Print application, and the downloaded PDF will be in the following location (on a Windows system): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\34791E63.CanonInkjetSmartConnect_6e5tt8cgb93ep\TempState_download\temp.pdf

You can copy out and then rename this file. Just note that once you close out of the file in Canon Print, the file will be deleted, so you must do that after you've already copied it out.

That's amazing!! thanks for sharing

[u/piginapokezzap]

Many thanks. I went on recently and noticed the inability to download files. Do you think a MEGA or Google Drive f the Canon files might be possible in the future?

[u/piginapokezzap → u/[deleted]]

Happy to help

[u/Turbulent-Listen8809]

you are a king or queen!!!!! I used to use this website like 10 years ago for students now trying to use it again

[u/Dry_Inflation8278]

Thank you very much!!, I do have a canon printer, but it's old and the app doesn't work with it

[u/_lynnxx]

I couldn't do that😭😭 can you send me the "Antarctic Observation Ship 'Soya' "?🥲

[u/Business_Lion_4974]

Did it stop working? I really wanted the Humayun tomb papercraft for my project, is there any other way i can get my hands onto it?

[u/Klaus0912 → u/[deleted]]

Such a GOAT! I came too late to find out it's unavailable'till yesterday. Somehow can you please share your collection, Im so grateful. Lots of love

[u/Sticky_Turtle → u/[deleted]]

Any way I can get a link to the archive?

Hello friend, have you found any solution?

[u/Original_Mark6281]

Parece que ya no funciona, he probado a utilizar los enlaces de acuerdo al ID del archivo, pero siempre arroja un error 404, y el bookmarklet arroja un error al guardar el archivo como "htm", no "pdf", y el mensaje de error es: "Error: Ningún archivo encontrado"

Thank you for this. Still works.

[u/sonic_anon_hog]

This is really nice! I tested the bookmarklet out and it works perfectly.

It would also be nice if you or someone else put this in user script form, to restore the download links to make the site as it used to be. That way, I avoid accidental misclicks on the wrong button and can choose to only download specific files instead of all of them.

This is an absolute pisstake from canon.

Does anyone have all the flowers currently available? I'm mostly looking for the arrangement single ones but I wouldn't mind any of the mini-boquets etc too if remotely possible. thought I'd just be able to hop on and make a Rose but no, that would be too easy.

Looking forward to seeing some kind of community upload project, let me know if I can lend a hand organizing folders etc.

[u/Poopoo-fortniteballs]

Does anyone still have the instructions for Mini Bouquet (Carnations)? I lost the file for the instructions but somehow kept the template.

its such a shame they did this, i was using this site since 2018. i luckly managed to download like 64 of them before announcment but like why, its so dissapointing to see this change

[u/Classic_Ad439]

it doesn't work it shows "file wasn't available on the site" error needs a fix i guess any help

[u/skrubbybubby]

Came across here wondering if I could save the "files" it sends to canon print as a pdf, apparently not (I like to print papercraft half size to save paper as long as it doesn't make it too hard) despite it showing as a pdf in the print queue.

If you're looking for thumbnails, sumatra pdf does generate (as does mega) them but I'm not familiar with thumbnails so don't know if that's what your looking for.

As for names have you thought about a sort of scraper using page source <title> header, say on https://creativepark.canon/en/contents/CNT-0004342/index.html, since the file is expected to be CNT-0010730-01.pdf to replace "0010730" with "Pop-up Card (Happy Birthday) - Animals - Pop-up Cards - Card - Canon Creative Park" using a renaming program?

Is there a solution with Canon printer and Canon Print to download the PDFs?

[u/xWolfy012x]

Unfortunately this no longer works, I do own a canon printer but it only allows you to print not save or edit them. If you need anything from the side of someone who does own a canon, let me know.

I am having trouble downloading, could anyone help me get the instructions of this one? https://creativepark.canon/en/contents/CNT-0023316/index.html

[u/Top_Opposite_6901]

For example, if you need to download the PDF from
https://creativepark.canon/en/contents/CNT-0010711/index.html

First, copy CNT-0010711 from the URL.

To obtain the PDF, you need to make a request that will generate a temporary link.
Open a terminal and make a request similar to the one below, replacing the CNT ID with the one you need.

curl 'https://creativepark.canon/api/v1/content' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'x-api-key: GRjzhvC0X642q42TO2htj5zS2uXGOnwW7gW1lkuV' \
  --data '{"contentsId":"CNT-0010711","fileId":"CNT-0010711-01"}'

You will receive a response. Copy the temporary link from the signedUrl field — it will point to the PDF file.

[u/Relevant_Remove_3220]

How secure is that downlaoder website? becuase somehow, the website got flagged for malware, don't know if it is a false positive or what not, but I prefer to be on the safe side. The bookmarklet also does not work, is there any other alternatives?

edit: the new bookmarklet code works on chrome, have no idea why it does not on firefox
