IEEE Xplore translator no longer downloads pdf
Hi
I use Zotero for Firefox (4.0.29.11). It is a great tool. One of the things I do the most is to pull articles from the IEEE Xplore database using the IEEE Xplore translator. In the past, saving an article in this way automatically downloaded the associated pdf file (I have that box ticked in the preferences.) However, it seems that IEEE Xplore recently (24 August 2016) made some changes to the web interface and now I only get the abstract record when saving items. It was very convenient for me to get the pdf automatically.
Is anyone else also experiencing this issue?
Can something be done to fix it?

zuphilipYes, I can confirm this issue. It looks like IEEE Xplore has done some (smaller) redesign of their pages. Thereby, also multiples are not not working anymore and from the author names only initials are saved. The last point looks for me like an oversight of IEEE in all their export formats.

zuphilipA translator fix for pdf and multiples is now up. Your version of Zotero will automatically update within 24hs, or you can update manually using the "Update Now" button in the "General" tab of the Zotero preferences. If you're using Standalone, restart Zotero and your browser after updating. Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting.
