saving journal article to folder

eric.dedo
I'm on a Mac and I have the Safari extension. I'm on the preview page for a journal article. I click the icon that looks like a text document - the snapshot saves, but the PDF does not. Any recommendations?

    We'll need the URL in question.

    and it would be useful to know whether Zotero attempts to download a PDF (in which case you'd see it listed in the pop-up and then have a red x appear next to it) or not.

    and yes, Zotero does attempt to download it, as shown in the pop-up, then the red x appears.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    Zotero is not able to get PDFs for some sites when you're using connectors (i.e. Chrome or Safari) and going through a proxy, that includes Proquest, EBSCO, and sciencedirect.
    This should work on campus (or connecting through VPN) or if you're using Zotero for Firefox.

    I'll give that a shot. Thank you.

    I believe if you're using the Firefox version you should have Standalone closed when importing (they share a database by default, so anything you import will still show up in Standalone if you want to use that e.g. for writing).
