PDF Downloads from ScienceDirect Table of Contents Page

gonuke

Hello,

I've searched through some other entries, but none of them seem to quite match my issue.

When I visit the web page for a specific paper on ScienceDirect and "Save to Zotero (ScienceDirect)" everything works correctly, including a PDF download and a Snapshot.

When I visit the table of contents page on ScienecDirect and "Save to Zotero (ScienceDirect)", and select a few papers to save, it only saves Snapshots and not the PDFs.

I am accessing through my institution's proxy and this used to work just fine.

I submitted Debug ID D784421872.

It appears that it only looks for OA versions of the PDF even though I have access.

Thanks,
Paul

P.S. I'm using the Chrome connector on Linux

Could we get some sample URLs exactly as you see them when looking at the ToC?

Here are three successive URLs captured by right clicking on the "Download PDF" links that are below each one of the articles on a ToC page: (they don't correspond to the articles that I included in the Debug info)

OK, seeing the same thing (e.g. https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/fusion-engineering-and-design/vol/161/suppl/C

We'll have to take a look, I'd guess it might be somewhat involved to get right.

Out of curiosity (and as a programmer) does this get fixed in the ScienceDirect translator, or somewhere else?
