Zotero connector is not working with a PDF (chrome)

Dafna Kahana · June 15, 2023

Hi all,

Whenever a paper is presented as PDF in google chrome, I can't import it to my library using Zotero connector. Do you have any solution?

You're using an extension (most likely the Adobe Acrobat one) to view PDFs in Chrome. Disable that and Zotero will be able to save that PDF. (the link will be just the second part, i.e. https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1023/A:1021437623949.pdf

That said, we generally recommend saving articles from the landing page, not the PDF (i.e. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1021437623949 in this case), which will give you both the metadata and the PDF attached.
