Do I have to switch the IE Tab Plus button in FireFox manually every time I want to use PubPDF?

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:55:23 GMT

If you have IE Tab Plus already installed, then the QBPlusEx Add-on will not install and is not needed. With IE Tab Plus installed, you can specify that IE Tab should be used automatically for PubPDF.com. To do so: Right-click on the IE tab button on the bottom right corner of your browser. In the 'IE Tab Options' dialog, select the 'Site Filters' tab. Add "http://pubpdf.com" to the list and click OK. If you have installed the QBPlusEx Add-on with PubPDF, then there is no need to set the site filter.

Do I need to set the "PubMed Home Page"? What is this?

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:56:04 GMT

The PubMed home page is the URL for PubMed you would normally access when on your institution's network. It ensures that the PubMed results pages are presented to you as they would normally be in that case, including the link outs. Using your institution's home page may increase the number of PDFs you get back but in most cases the difference, if any, will be minor. In short, you may as well use your institution's home page but you don't need to for PubPDF to work for you.

Why can't I Save to My Desktop, My Libraries, or other folders in Vista or Windows 7?

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 19:30:08 GMT

You need first to add PubPDF as a Trusted Site in Internet Explorer. To do this, browse to http://pubpdf.com. Go to Tools (top right, near the Home and Print icons) and select Internet Options. Select the Security Tab, press Trusted Sites and the Sites button. Make sure that this checkbox is UNCHECKED: "Requires server verification (https: ) for all sites in this zone" and Add http://pubpdf.com (which should already be in the URL box) as a site.

Can I still see citation information in the Organizer (in "More") if I move my files around?

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:50:50 GMT

Yes. If the folder you move this files to is already in your Organizer, you will see the articles there, be able to export them to EndNote, etc from there, etc. If you move articles retrieved by PubPDF to a new folder, then simply right-click on My Folders in PubPDF and Add that folder by browsing to it. You will see all the PubPDF-retrieved articles there, with all the usual use of their citation information.

What browsers does PubPDF work with?

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:17:32 GMT

PubPDF works on Windows computers with Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8. It also works with Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 . It may work with other browsers with an "IE TAB" or Internet Explorer compatibility add-on (like http://www.chromeextensions.org/utilities/ie-tab/). Please note, though, that ONLY the Internet Explorer and Firefox versions above are currently supported. Please DO NOT enter support tickets in relation to other browsers. They will be ignored, as we rather spend the time getting other browsers properly prepared for you.

I do not see a "select all" button. Should I?

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:54:08 GMT

The "Save to" action in PubPDF will pick up either any items you checked or the contents of the current page, in both cases up to a limit of 50 items. So you don't need to select all items on a page.

Do I have to wait for the circles to stop spinning?

No, you can start the "Save to.." action any time or drag and drop the article to the folder you want to save it to. (Dragging the article title works fine.) If the PDF turns out to be available, we’ll get it for you; otherwise we’ll get the PubMed abstract. You can also move off the page to another one without any problems.
