pdf files not saving automatically

ransomca · September 4, 2008

Hi, I have Zotero 1.0.7 running on Firefox 3.0.1 and every time I go to a page that has a pdf file associated with a citation, it is not being downloaded with the citation information. This has never happened to me before, the pdfs always get downloaded automagically. Now all I get is a webpage snapshot. I have to download the pdfs manually. (On a side note, in the case of Flock, in addition to this, I can't move the pdfs around in the 2nd pane so I have to actually save the pdf to the desktop, then drag it under the appropriate citation.) Is this a bug? The sites I've used include: ScienceDirect, Wiley InterScience, Science Magazine (HighWire) and SpringerLink. I'm sure these have worked in the past. Thanks!

Is "Automatically attach associated PDFs and other files when saving items" enabled in the General pane of the Zotero prefs?

I'm sorry, no, it wasn't. I don't know how it got unchecked (I certainly didn't do it!), I didn't even know it was an option. It used to just do it automatically. Thanks for the help!

it's checked in mine, but the pdfs are still not saved automatically. out of about 30 items only 4 have saved the pdf (on nature.com and sciencedirect.com).
