Hi all,
Firstly, been using Foxit for ages and really like it. The ability to do the commenting is great. Now the problem at hand.
I'm a PhD student and am currently doing my lit review. I'm downloading lots of pdf's and things were going well until today. I started downloading papers and for some reason, certain papers could not be saved. I eventually noticed that the papers that could not be saved had the character ":" in the URL, or its equivalent "&3A". You can see this in the attached, canNotSave.png. It appears that the Journal in question changed its titling process as if I go to a different, later, point in time, the URL has changed, see attached canBeSaved01.png, and the Save button now works, canBeSaved02.png.
This now raises another problem/bug. As you can see in canBeSaved01.png, the URL ends in "......1943-541X.0000519". When I hit the Save button, I get the Save dialogue box but as you can see, the ".0000519" has been cut off. In the other filenames you can see, I've had to manually add these truncated parts. This should not be happening. Are you truncating after the first occurrence of a full stop?
In browsing back through the forums, I came across this post that was started by gara56, 08-23-2012 11:39 PM:
"save as" pdf button doesn't work.
I don't know if these two are related?
Your thoughts on the matter?
Regards,
Andrew Lowe
