pdf is not being attached after I installed Zotero 3.0

I need specific URLs you're trying this from. This works for me from the URL above.

Edit: that's http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=6122900

You're right, when trying on campus the update works on

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=6122900

Out of the 25 items listed, Zotero grabbed 16 and all their attached pdfs. The remaining are all items like Table of contents, title pages, etc that can be omitted. But it breaks again on the next 25, URL is:

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?sortType%3Dasc_p_Sequence%26filter%3DAND%28p_IS_Number%3A6123257%29&pageNumber=2

The Debug ID is D1250310951.

Or try it on a page that shows 75 items:

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?sortType%3Dasc_p_Sequence%26filter%3DAND%28p_IS_Number%3A6123257%29%26pageNumber%3D2&rowsPerPage=75&pageNumber=1&resultAction=ROWS_PER_PAGE

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the report.
Those two should now work, too, after you update translators again.

For all future reports always include URLs (as you do above). Also, hover your mouse over the URL bar icon and let us know what it says (It'll be something like "Save to Zotero (DOI)" or "Save to Zotero (IEEEXplore)")

Thanks a lot! I can confirm the problem is now fixed. For both URLs it showed "Save to Zotero (IEEEXplore)".

One more thing. After Zotero grabs all the papers and attached pdfs, it keeps working to take snapshots of the item pages then attach the "IEEE Xplore Abstract Record" one by one to the items. This takes pretty long if I'm grabbing hundreds of papers at a time, and can break in the middle and crashes Zotero.

I wonder, is the abstract attachment really necessary, given the abstract is already scrapped and inserted to the item metadata?
