Enable grabbing PDFs from the AES

Hello,

Zotero is unable to grab PDFs from the Audio Engineering Society, www.aes.org. I've tried this on several machines with full access, and it works fine on other journals (such as IEEE or ASA), so I'm assuming this has something to do with the way Zotero scans a website for a PDF link. I'd try to implement this myself if I knew the source code better (if someone could guide me to the right section that would be great!).
  • Works for me on this page: http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=16932

    Can you link to a page that doesn't work? Are you behind a proxy? Are you using Zotero in Firefox or Zotero Standalone with some other browser? Please provide versions for browser and Zotero.
  • That one works for me too! I guess it's only the ones requiring a login that doesn't, e.g.: http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=13575

    Looks like this is a access problem for me rather than Zotero not being able to find the link. In which case apologies for posting in the wrong subforum!

    I'm using Zotero 4.0.12 in Firefox 24.0.

    When I use the University network I'm automatically logged in to these journals; not sure how that works though.

    Outside of campus I have to log in manually (usually Athens/Shibboleth, but AES is just username/pass). PDF grabbing still works for all sources I've tried apart from AES (not open-access).
  • so on your university network, does this work with Zotero? And after you've logged in to AES off campus - does Zotero download the PDF?
