Supplemental Info

rchereji
Hi,

Is it possible to download both the main article and the Supplemental Info as PDFs, with Zotero? What settings have to be changed?

Thanks,
Razvan

    no it's not. It would probably be possible to adjust the respective translator (which site are you looking at?), but I'm not sure that's generally desirable.
    In most cases right-click on the link --> Save link as Zotero item and then drag to the item will work.

    Thanks.
    There are many journals which allow supplementary info for their papers. I'll give you some examples next:

    I don't see any "Save link as Zotero item" after I right-click any link... I use the standalone Zotero and the chrome addon.

    Best,

    Oh, one more thing...
    If you think not everyone needs to download the supp. info., maybe you can add 2 options: to download only the main text or to download some of the relevant attachments (where the user can select which of the things Zotero can download to be really downloaded and added to the database)

    I doubt that option is going to happen - that would create a lot of extra coding - GUI, general translator infrastructure, each individual translator - I just don't see that as worth the effort.

    right, that's Firefox only - not sure what the status of something like that for the connectors is. The best solution for you would be to set-up Zotfile

    download the file and attach it - it's three clicks, pretty acceptable IMHO.

    Automatically attaching supplementary data is now supported in Firefox.
