Re-download the pdf file

zszhong · January 21, 2021

Sometimes, due to the network error or else, the pdf file attached for one certain document would not be downloaded successfully. But the document is saved in the colllection of library.

Is it possible to re-download the pdf file for these files? Maybe it would be great if a "Re-download Attachment" item in the right-click pop menu when the document is clicked.

right-click --> Find Available PDF will do it's best to download the PDF, but note that it isn't currently able to use a web proxy, if that's how you're getting access to paywalled resources.

Hi, @adamsmith , thanks for your advice. I checked the Zotero (5.0.95.1) on Windows 10, it seems no "Find Available PDF" item. Please have a check in https://imgur.com/a/7hL2qGJ.

An item needs to have either a DOI or a URL for this to work.
