WSJ .puz glitch

<< < (2/2)

phil262:
OK, obviously I don't know what I'm talking about. I'll stop posting now.

Wunderteam:
Does anyone have the address of a website, which has the answers to the Friday puzzle in an easily parsable format? I would like to add the answers back into the .puz file using a program. "Diary of a Crossword Fiend" has the filled grid as a low-resolution .png file, which my OCR cannot transform, while the result of a Google search is greatly obfuscated by cheesy clickbait sites.

Wunderteam:
Silly me, the WSJ publishes the solution to the Friday puzzle itself on the following Monday (sometimes Tuesday) as a PDF. The letters can then be simply copied and pasted into the .puz file after skipping the blacks squares and recalculating the checksum values.

skiverwildfowl:
It's nice to know
blob opera

horroraround:
It's a FEATURE, not a bug or anything that's "not formatted correctly". Therefore, voice your dissatisfaction to WSJ if you find that they don't provide answers for Friday's quizzes.
