ACM Digital Library: Fail to grab PDF without subscription

ACM DL is now fully OA, and users without a valid subscription can download pdf for free. However, zotero cannot grab pdf before logging in with a subscribed institutional account.

I can reproduce on https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3544548.3581094
This shouldn't be a hard fix.

@dianlujitao: Fixed. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update translators manually from the Advanced pane of the Zotero settings.

@AbeJellinek thank you so much for the prompt fix!
