Zotero Connector in Chrome cannot get access to PDF files by clicking
I just found Zotero Connector cannot convey PDF files in Elsevier to my Zotero software. I am using the educational network, thus I have the authority. A strange thing is that I can get PDF files in Edge via using the ZC extension. I am wondering what is the problem with my Chrome.
Looking forward to suggestions.

What's a specific URL where you're having trouble?
What exactly happens?
Can you provide a Debug ID from the Zotero Connector for attempting to save and not getting a PDF?
URL: https://www.sciencedirect.com/
Debug ID: 2082288527
thanks for your time.
And that’s a Report ID, not a Debug ID. Please follow my link.
You also still haven’t explained what exactly is happening.

Normally, when I found desired papers, I just clicked Zotero Connector (ZC) in Chrome, then I can find the paper title associated with the PDF file in my Zotero application (Windows 10).
However, today I just found the PDF file cannot be downloaded automatically after clicking the ZC button in Chrome. I am sure I can get access to PDF resources. As for the URL, please refer to https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010218021002583
Actually, I cannot download any PDF files if using the ZC extension in Chrome.
Thanks for your time.
The solution for this problem was to update and merge in some code contributed by another developer. Considering that it was a fairly complex set of changes to an important translator, a one-day turnaround isn't too shabby!
Re: "Actually, I cannot download any PDF files if using the ZC extension in Chrome," that sounds like a separate issue. Could you link me to a different site (not ScienceDirect) that doesn't give you PDFs in Chrome but does in Edge?
As for ZC in Chrome or Edge, I checked that the ZC in both of them cannot work well right now (i.e., saving PDF files) on ScienceDirect. It is true that ZC did work well on ScienceDirect, as I mentioned above, the day before yesterday in Edge but did not in Chrome. I just noticed a thing that might be related to this problem: the website of ScienceDirect seems updated recently, you can find it from its layout and figures. When I tried to use ZC in Edge, the ScienceDirect has not been updated at that time. In this case, I guess this problem is closely linked to the ScienceDirect website. According to your suggestions, I tried ZC on Springer and ACS Publications, and ZC works well.
I am wondering if it is a common problem? or I am a single case.
Zotero is of importance to my research, I am looking forward to solutions. Thank you very much for your very patient help!
