need help with recipes for indonesian newspapers

Hello from germany,
first of all I like to thank everybody who created/worked on calibre -its fantastic!!
As beeing a user of this wonderfull programm it is of course only fair to me, trying to help creating new recipes. BUT - as having no idea about python (never heard of it before) I loaded some phython editors etc, read the tutorial about recipe creating and tried out with pasting and reorganising existing recipes and during a frustrating week I get only error messages.
I tried to get the "argentinische Tageblatt", a weekly newspaper published in Argentina in the german language, which seems to me easy to "convert" because the newspaper is created as one PDF-file. (www.tageblatt.com.ar).
No succes...
More frustation I got trying to download indonesian newspapers (I am trying to learn the indonesian language) like "tempo Koran, suara merdeka etc). These newspapaers were managed on one website (pressmart)(like http://epaper.korantempo.com ). It needs a login and a password (free subscription).I tried to "use" a similar recipe with a password routine (the foreign affairs (subscription or(free) Registration) but only error messages.
Up to now getting the newspaper (without calibre) I have to open each page separately, transform it to pdf and save it on my computer -very annoying

Perhaps can somebody produce a working recipe for the tempo koran (its not religious "koran" means only newspaper in indonesian!) and give me some explanation within the routines, so I will do the work trying to adapt the rest of these indonesian newspaper an upload them to calibre.

Sorry, newbies have funny ideas sometimes ......

Thank anyway wolf
