Upgrade StorageProblems downloading full text PDFs
I am currently having trouble downloading PDFs with Chrome. I’ve checked all the troubleshooting issues with Zotero translators listed and the known translator issues but nothing has helped.
user jbaart yesterday posted a similar sounding problem but mine seems to be different.

I also am able to get snapshots but no full text PDFs. The sites I have had problems with are
http://informahealthcare.com.proxy.library.vanderbilt.edu/doi/full/10.3109/07434618.2014.906498
and
http://search.proquest.com.proxy.library.vanderbilt.edu/docview/1460847929/A483F54D99854B75PQ/1?accountid=14816
In jbaart’s topic user adamsmith said to to try the following site, which I also did and WAS able to get a pdf.
http://www.advancesindifferenceequations.com/content/2014/1/318
So is my issue that both of these sites have linked PDFs? Or do they need new translators. Hovering over one has the translator listed as Atypon Journals. Any help would be great.
I just got a new mac and downloaded the latest standalone Zotero and Chrome extension. I have checked and I am not behind a proxy. Perhaps there are some Chrome settings I need to adjust?
I also attempted using Firefox but had the same results.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
The informahealthcare.com article though -- I'm having problems saving that page at all because of an illegal character in their export data (RIS). But if it does save for you, the PDF should save, too. So could you say exactly what's happening on that page?
I'm not able to access the PDF for http://search.proquest.com.proxy.library.vanderbilt.edu/docview/1460847929/A483F54D99854B75PQ/1?accountid=14816 but looking at other articles, it looks like ProQuest is serving PDFs from a different domain (media.proquest.com) and that will currently not work with Chrome connector when using proxy (and in some other cases). We're working on that fix too, but it will take some time.
Edit: wow... 1 hour late.
Also, since I forgot to address this above, You're accessing the websites through your library's proxy (it's in the URL: library.vanderbilt.edu) Can you confirm that for ProQuest? Also make sure that you actually have access to the PDF.
The informalhealthcare.com now seems to work normally. Thank you for updating that.
