Are you having difficulty saving PDF files from ScienceDirect or other sources?  The recent update to Adobe Acrobat X has affected the save function for viewed PDF’s on ScienceDirect and other websites.
 
One simple workaround is to right-click on the link to the PDF and select “Save Link As” (Firefox) or “Save Target As” (Internet Explorer).
 
If you are seeing this issue frequently, you might instead wish to download and install the “Foxit Reader.”  This alternate PDF reader doesn’t have the issues with ScienceDirect PDF files that Adobe Acrobat X seems to have.  It can be found here.
 
If you have questions about this issue, you can reach us at 402-280-5109, 402-280-5134, refdesk@creighton.edu, or hslcirc@creighton.edu.
