Hi I have the same problem, with elsevier. Zotero chrome connector does not seem to want to save the PDF file. I am a nube and because of my study I learned about Zotero and it has been a life saver ever since I'm using it. But for some reason, it does not seem to save files from reader.elsevier.com.
I tried to play with the proxies and added them but this does not seem to help. Im not sure what to do know any advise, would be highly appreciated, so I can finish my study this year with ease
@dstillman, thank you for your quick reply. I have resolved the problem. It was not Zotero but the website Elsevier who had since about two weeks introduced a new ereader for their pdf files, and Zotero does not recognize the embedded metadata. But I fortunately i could turn the stupid thing off, so I can finish my work.

Can you provide the full URL where you're having trouble, and explain exactly what's happening? (You can x out your institution if you want.)
again thank you!
Ofcourse, its not a problem, its through my university.

Zotero does not recognize this as a pdf, but just as another website.
Here you can read about it:

It seems to work directly with Mendeley or something, tried that nothing like Zotero ofcourse. So hope it helps
