Can you provide a Debug ID (different from a Report ID) from the Zotero Connector for reloading a ScienceDirect page and getting the gray icon?

Debug ID for zotero connector is D691758678

I clicked on zotero connector
I clicked on save pdf

"problem has occurred while dowloading this file. try again"

1) You're trying to save the PDF directly. You generally shouldn't do that on a supported site like ScienceDirect. You should save from the article page, and Zotero will automatically download the PDF if possible.

2) PDF downloads from ScienceDirect generally won't work in Zotero 6 at the moment, but they should be possible in the Zotero 7 beta.
