Need help pirating stuff I paid for [Pirating Android App Protected content on Linux]

edit: I believe scrcpy fits what I looking for right now, although it views black screen for some materials (during navigation) it does give me a good view of the pdf. I doubt if I would be able to download the pdf unfortunately, but hey, this is the next best thing. Since I would need to login first, I might use Shizuka as suggested by the first commenter (not mentioned username incase they decide to delete acc someday).

I am willing to provide any information one could need to help me with this, so when I was getting my admit, the people concerned with this app told me I would be getting Pdfs of notes prepared by the faculty and videos too. Honestly, I know how to pirate those videos so that I can use them at any time, but since I don't have a phone, I can't view the content which is not available on website [pdf notes] and only available for view on android and it's view protected and the freaking phone is small and I can't hope to read from my phone [and they know that].

So, I was thinking if it was possible to break the protection which can allow me to view the notes on my linux laptop using some app. Or better yet, pirate the bloody pdf so I can take their print outs and read it in physical form. Please ask me any further info you might need.

Maybe an android emulator for your computer could help?
You could set it up as a tablet if the app supports tablet sizes. That would make it more readable and you could screenshot stuff you wanted to save.

I had tried android emulators before, but they were terrible. Especially anbox and since I am using MX Linux, I can't install Anbox anyway. Do you have an emulator in mind for Linux which you know just works?

I haven't used MX, but as far as i know Anbox still works for it.
I don't have a specific emulator in mind, but there's plenty of options. I even think there's an emulator running in a chrome browser.
I'm just providing the way i would try to attack the problem. :)
