Translator issue: PDF download on some Sciencedirect pages

PDF download fails when saving citations from some sciencedirect pages, and not others. The citations otherwise appear to save correctly, and the pdf can be saved directly without problem. Looking at the pages, this may be connected to a change in format of the pages.

Some that don't work:

This does not appear to be the same as the problem reported in previous threads--the papers linked in these threads work for me:

  • Okay, it seems that Elsevier changed again something to hide better the pdfs for subscribed users *sight*. It should be possible to catch that in the translator. Stay tuned.
  • A translator fix is now up. Your version of Zotero will automatically update within 24hs, or you can update manually using the "Update Now" button in the "General" tab of the Zotero preferences. If you're using Standalone, restart Zotero and your browser after updating.

    Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting.
  • Works just fine now. Thanks!
