I don't use DOIs, so I don't know if this is feasible. But AFAIK, there is no systematic way to find the PDF URL from the DOI number, or is there? AFAIK you can only find a page containing information associated to the DOI item.
Also note that if you add/paste the remote URL in the files pane in the detail editor, you can download the target from the contextual menu. Christiaan On 11 Apr 2008, at 12:46 PM, Etienne B.
