Cannot save Journal articles from Applied Physics Letters

badarirao · October 17, 2013

I think the website for AIP publishing has been modified, so if I click on "save to zotero" option, it does not save the pdf copy of the article (even though I have access to the journal). Instead only the bibliographic details are stored. Kindly rectify this problem

sample URL?

I'll have to double check, but I think AIP occasionally pops up a captcha when accessing PDFs. What browser are you using?

here is a sample url for which I am facing problem.

http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/apl/103/15/10.1063/1.4824214

I am using Firefox browser. I was able to save pdf articles from this journal without any issues about a month back, but now I am facing this problem.
Also I am sure it is not a problem with captcha, because I am able to download the pdf file manually without any captcha poping up.

Should be fixed now. Update your translators via Preferences -> General -> Update Now

The AIP translator was actually completely broken because all the AIP journals moved to their new Scitation platform. However, the DOI translator was picking up the DOIs on the page, but because it just fetches metadata from CrossRef, it cannot attach PDFs (or include abstracts and keywords). All of that is now fixed.
