ACS journals PDF import not working

Derek Lowe · September 25, 2019

Well, I hate to come back with a problem that I had thought was solved last July, but in the last few days Zotero has again stopped being able to download and attach PDFs for me from any of the American Chemical Society journals. I'm running Zotero 5.0.74 on Chrome 76.0.3809.132 on a MacBook Pro (10.13.6), and I have updated translators, etc. several times over the last few days hoping that this would fix things (as it did before). But the problem persists. . .

We'd still want 1-2 sample URLs just to be sure we're looking at exactly the same thing.

Sure! Here are a couple of randomly chosen ones from recent papers:

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.9b06580

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.orglett.9b03038

In both of these cases, I get the bibliographic data and the ACS Full Text Snapshot, but the PDF download shows a red X (and there is of course no attached PDF in the Zotero record). Thanks!

Okay, I am working to fix this issue now.

This is now fixed — thanks for reporting. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences.

Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting.

Excellent - works fine now, and I'm very happy to see this fixed. Thanks very much!
