We have never had PDF download from PubMed -- pubmed is a catalog, it doesn't host PDFs (if you have links to PDFs they go to external sites; Zotero can't follow those).

Although perhaps @heraclito2077 is referring to PubMed Central, which does host PDFs. @heraclito2077, can you give a URL of a PubMed page that isn't working for you?

heraclito2077 · November 29, 2017

yes is PMC, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed

What you're linking to is pubmed not pmc. No PDFs there

To add to what @adamsmith says, here are a PubMed and a PubMed Central link of the same article:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26386051
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4651100/

Zotero currently only saves the full-text PDF for the latter. If you think you're having issues saving from PMC, give the full URL from which you're actually trying to save.
