I have the same problem. In Zotero 4 Standalone, connector in Chrome and Firefox worked just fine. After upgrade to Zotero 5, I cannot download ScienceDirect pdf's neither with Chrome nor Firefox.

I have the same problem. Impossible to download the pdf file, only the reference is downloaded.

PDF download problem is reported very often. But it is something different from praveens1 problem. On another side, it is necessary to provide more info; only statement the problem is not enough for solving it.

On the address below, there is a log file created during adding element from ScienceDirect to Zotero:

Not related to 5.0. ScienceDirect changed their site in a way that makes PDF downloads difficult to support, but we're seeing what we can do.

Great. Thank you very much.
