Sometimes, when I am off-campus, I can only access the basic information of articles through the official websites of the journals. When I return to campus, I would like to download the PDF files of these articles. When I have a large number of articles, such as over 100, is there any way to quickly download the PDFs of these 100 articles? Thanks!

@mrli6666: Right-click the items -> Find Full Text.

thanks. When I am on-campus, "Right-click the items -> Find Full Text" doesn't work.

@mrli6666 When you are out of campus then use a proxy (see https://www.zotero.org/support/connector_preferences#proxies) It works perfectly.

@mrli6666: Find Full Text should work as long as you have direct access to the resources without using a proxy, though some sites tend to block Zotero.

If it's not working for you, we'd want an example DOI from the parent item and a Debug ID for an attempt that fails.
