PDFs not automatically saved from ACM Portal/Digital Library

johnotto
Hi,

When I try to save a citation from the ACM Portal/Digital Library (e.g. http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1247660.1247684 ), the citation and a web page snapshot are taken, but the PDF is not pulled in. Perhaps this is because the link doesn't go directly to a PDF file, but in this case, http://portal.acm.org/ft_gateway.cfm?id=1247684&type=pdf&coll=GUIDE&dl=GUIDE&CFID=4886917&CFTOKEN=17916664

Regardless, other forum posts made it sound like this wasn't an issue, but I'm seeing this problem on all my entries that I save from ACM. I do have the "automatically save associated PDFs" option enabled. I'm on a university campus, so I can download the file whether or not I'm logged in, but I've tried it both ways. I'm running Zotero 1.0.7 on Firefox 3.0.3, and I updated the Zotero translators today.

I'd really appreciate some help with enabling the automatic PDF downloads; hopefully I'm not doing anything silly.

Thanks,
John

    I have the same problem, I used Zotero 1.0.3 and Firefox 2... and pdfs were automatically downloaded and renamed. Today I updated on firefox 3.0.3 and Zotero 1.0.7 and the pdfs are not downloaded ("automatically save associated PDFs" option is enabled). I uninstalled Firefox, deleted all related files (in the user directory) and installed Firefox 2.0.11 and Zotero 1.0.3 and now even that does not work.

    I am having the same problem .. FF 2.0.0.18 and zotero 1.0.7 under XP Professional SP2.

    I believe this used to work for me earlier too (haven't used zotero few a few months)

    Did anyone find a fix/workaround? This is particularly frustrating since the ACM Digital Library is almost exclusively what I am using for my work.
    Thanks!

    Any more progress with regard to this problem? I still have the same issues with zotero 1.0.9 and Firefox 3.0.5.

    I really would like to be able to use zotero to pull the associated pdfs from the ACM DL.

    Thanks.
