Zotero iOS saves PDF from a link as weblink instead of adding PDF when using safari's share button
Debug ID: D2039841791
iPadOS 26.5.2
Zotero 2.08.
I am trying to save a pdf from my unis moodle instance directly to my zotero database using the share button in safari on my iPad. Unfortunately it just saves it as a weblink (not a snapshot) instead of saving the pdf. The iOS-share-window shows the pdf, when I hit options below and choose "Send as pdf" it saves it as a link too. I have access to two different unis moodles and it happens with both. As the pdfs can only be accessed with an account that has access to the course, sharing it here does not seem useful.

haddock65I have found the problem: It happens due to a "?forcedownload=1" at the end of the URL, if i delete that, the pdf is recognized by zotero. Interestingly, clicking the link to the pdf in brave on iPadOS automatically donwloads the pdf, while safari opens it in a new tab despite the forcedowload option.
