Getting PDFs from Wiley Online Library
January 21, 2011, 11:14:02 pm
Thought this might be a decent place to ask as there's plenty of academics who post on here. When getting papers from other sources I can generally get a PDF download of the full text but when getting a paper through Wiley I can't find a way to save it to my local drive as a PDF. Does anybody know how to do this?

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2664.2010.01774.x/abstract

This one for example. I generally log into Web of Knowledge or the Uni library and then access the content from there (for some reason I can never get logged into Wiley through their own institutional login, I have to be directed there from an external website where I've logged in with Athens/Shibboleth etc). This will let me see the pdf in Chrome but won't let me download it to my hard drive.

If you're viewing in Chrome the chances are its using its own pdf viewer.

I've no experience with Chrome so have no idea how you then save it.

If you use Firefox or Opera though then when viewing the PDF it uses Adobe Acrobat as a plugin and Acrobat is started within the browser tab and it has an icon of a disk to save the PDF. 

So you could try a different browser.

Alternatively you could try some of these suggestions, (righ-clicking sounds promising)
