Parsing PDF files in C++ can be a complex task due to the intricacies of the PDF format. However, you can use third-party libraries to simplify the process. One popular library for PDF parsing in C++ is "Poppler."

Here are the basic steps to parse PDF files using the Poppler library:

1. Install Poppler:

   • On Linux: You can typically install Poppler using the package manager for your distribution (e.g., apt-get install poppler-utils on Ubuntu).
   • On Windows: You can download the Poppler binaries from the official Poppler release page or use package managers like MSYS2 or vcpkg.

2. Use Poppler in C++:

   • Here's a simple example using Poppler in C++ to extract text from a PDF file:

#include 
#include 

int main() {
    // Replace "your_file.pdf" with the path to your PDF file
    QString pdfFilePath = "your_file.pdf";

    // Open the PDF file
    Poppler::Document* document = Poppler::Document::load(pdfFilePath);

    if (document) {
        // Iterate through pages
        for (int i = 0; i < document->numPages(); ++i) {
            Poppler::Page* pdfPage = document->page(i);

            // Extract text from the page
            QString text = pdfPage->text();
            std::cout << text.toStdString() << std::endl;

            delete pdfPage;
        }

        delete document;
    } else {
        std::cerr << "Failed to open the PDF file." << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Build and Link:

• Make sure to link your C++ program with the Poppler library. For example, using g++ on Linux:

g++ your_program.cpp -o your_program -lpoppler-qt5

4. Run the Program:

   • Execute your compiled program and provide the path to the PDF file as a command-line argument.

Keep in mind that this is a simple example, and Poppler provides more functionalities for extracting various information from PDF files. You might need to adapt the code based on your specific requirements.

Here are some general guidelines to approach scraping protected sites:

1. Check Terms of Service:

   • Review the terms of service, robots.txt file, and any other usage policies provided by the website. Some websites explicitly prohibit scraping.

2. Contact the Website Owner:

   • If you have a legitimate reason for scraping and the website provides contact information, consider reaching out to the website owner or administrator to request permission.

3. Use Official APIs:

   • Many websites offer official APIs that allow controlled access to their data. Using an API is a sanctioned and structured way to obtain information.

4. Simulate Human Behavior:

   • Mimic human behavior by setting appropriate headers, handling cookies, and introducing delays between requests. This helps avoid detection mechanisms that may identify automated bots.

5. Handle CAPTCHAs:

   • Some sites may use CAPTCHAs to prevent automated access. Implement mechanisms to handle CAPTCHAs if they are encountered.

6. Use Proxy Servers:

   • Rotate IP addresses using proxy servers to avoid IP-based blocking. However, be aware that some sites may block common proxy server IP ranges.

7. Avoid Aggressive Scraping:

   • Limit the frequency and volume of your requests to avoid overloading the server. Implement rate limiting and throttling to mimic human browsing behavior.

8. Stay Informed:

   • Monitor the website for changes in its structure or policies. Adjust your scraping strategy accordingly to adapt to any modifications.

To open proxy server settings on popular platforms, follow these general steps:

Open the browser or system settings.
Locate the network or connection settings section.
Find the proxy settings or proxy server options.
Enter the proxy server address, port, and authentication details if required.

The specific process varies depending on the platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS) and browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome) being used.

It is recommended to use private IPv6 proxies with dedicated IP in order to work with Instagram correctly, and most importantly - securely. With such connection interception of traffic is practically impossible, directly Instagram also will not ban the connection.

In Windows, proxy settings for local connections are made through the "Network and Sharing Center" (from the "Control Panel"). You need to select "Browser Properties", then go to "Connections" and click on "Network Setting". And there you can set either the script or the parameters for the proxy.
