ACS pdf fulltext problem
Journals of ACS publication have two types of pdf fulltext, hi-res pdf(high resolution pdf) and pdf with links, see example
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja308214m
Zotero will automatically download hi-res pdf for me, but I want to get the pdf with links.I wonder if there is any solution.
Thanks

'Hi-res pdf' include all the original images(high resolution), so the pdf files are large, usually 3-4 MB to more than 10 MB. The advantage is that I could obtain the original images from the downloaded pdf files without connecting to the internet.
'pdf with links' include the low resolution images, so the pdf files are much less than the Hi-res one, usually less than 1 MB. Every image has a link to the website, where the original high solution image is available. Moreover, every reference also has a link to the fulltext website. There are two advantages:
1) I could save my diskspace
2) I could get the references' fulltext without searching at the webofknowledge or google. The only thing I need to do is a single click.
In fact, I don't care about downloading large files. What I really want is the links to the references' fulltext websites, as it is so convenient to get the references' fulltext without any search.
Thank you very much.
Your copy of Zotero will auto-update within 24hs or you can update translators immediately by clicking "Update Now" in the General tab of the Zotero preferences.
Any problems, please let us know.
We may be able to add an option to also download the hi-res version, but I'll have to look into it & it won't happen super quickly.
I'll also toss in support for supplementary attachments.
I think disk space does matter to some degree - and the difference between the two means that you'd be able to put either ~150 or ~500 pdfs in your free Zotero file storage account (one reason I don't want to default to both).
I'm OK switching this back if people feel like the figures aren't usable otherwise. They seemed OK to me, but I only looked at so many papers.
We might consider wrapping this into the supplement pref - I'm not crazy about too many prefs, hidden or not.
I've tried to modify this preference, but it doesn't show up in the list of the extensions.zotero.translators. I use Firefox 21.
Thanks for your help,
Frédérique
about:config
I have already did this:
about:config window (right-click -> New -> Integer) and type in the full name (extensions.zotero.translators.ACS.highResPDF) and set it to 1.
I really don't want PDF w/links and have searched this setting for many many hours. Full text should be better for me.
I found a way to get ACS HighRes PDF via Zotero Chrome extension. Procedure:
1. Install Tampermonkey from Chrome Webstore https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en
2. Create a new script in Tampermonkey. Code can be copied from here: https://github.com/biochemputer/Javascripts/blob/master/remove ACS PDFPlus.js
This user.js will remove PDF Plus from web page, so only highRes PDF will be recognized by Zotero Connector.
Enjoy
Finally I could say goodbye to Firefox.
Is it correct that this setting is still not working for the combination Zotero Standalone / Safari?
I added the setting without typos in about:config but it does not seem to result in the desired effect.
Zotero still only downloads PDFwLinks, which are useless, e.g. in papers dealing with biological imaging and such.
I am not an experienced javascript developer, nor do I know all inner workings of Zotero but I found that in the translator for ACS:
https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/ACS Publications.js#L131
None of the 'Z.getHiddenPref("ACS.highResPDF")' actually return a value, rather 'Undefined' even though these properties are clearly present in about:config of Zotero Standalone.
Does this have to do with the fact that these translators are probably called from the server somehow?
There seems to be a distinction between hidden prefs directly associated with the translator and those somehow pulled from the local storage:
https://github.com/zotero/zotero/blob/master/chrome/content/zotero/xpcom/translation/translate.js#L234
And finally, nothing is actually in localStorage[]:
https://github.com/zotero/zotero-connectors/blob/master/src/common/zotero.js#L236
It would be interesting to know why this is happening, I don't quite understand the relationship between the settings in about:config and the other components of Zotero... :)
There have been significant improvements for the next version of connectors made by Adomas, who I ping above, so I was hoping he'd know whether they handle this better.
In the meantime exploring the js code has already proven quite interesting :)

. You can generally obtain the [ext_url] by navigating to the connector preferences.
