Science Direct & Chrome Plug-in (.pdf)
When importing from Science Direct pages using Zotero's Google Chrome plug-in I'm not getting the .pdf, just the citation and snapshot. The .pdf is available on the page, just not pulling it down when it imports.
Anything I need to do differently to get the pdf when using this database? All other databases are working fine when importing.
Cheers!

The PDF import through Chrome connector and Zotero Standalone appear to work properly on my end.
sciencedirect is the only one that doesn't download a pdf so far, I can download the pdfs manually.

I'm on campus when accessing the links, so a box on the top right pops up and says "Brought to you by the UC Santa Cruz Library"
I'm not sure if that's relevant info, but I thought i'd share it.
Go through steps 3, 4, 5, 6 here: http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues
If that doesn't help, provide a debug ID: http://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output
(Edit: @or10918, Firefox plugin does not appear to be affected by this)
@Simon, Dan,
If it helps, this is the exception that's being thrown when attaching a PDF:
'message' => "cannot use the given object as a weak map key"
'fileName' => "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/cookieSandbox.js"

I am using chrome with plug-in.
Or are you saying that you need a ScienceDirect account to download PDFs? In which case, that should not be necessary. If you can access the PDF on the webpage without ScienceDirect account, you should be able to import it directly into Zotero. (VPN will probably still be necessary)

since I don't believe Zotero will recognize the URL with hyphens. Even if it did, though, PDF download from Sciencedirect don't work for Standalone using a proxy.
there may be a solution, but it's a mess and there's no ETA for implementation. If you need this I'd look at one of the workarounds.
Alternatively, if you don't want to have it watch the folder, you can just right click on an entry (after already downloading the pdf) and select Attach New File.
It makes it at least a bit less of a headache. I must say, tho, I am surprised this problem can't/hasn't been fixed in so many years.
