Give me the F-ing PDF Extension

Countless journal sites have adopted the same terrible web design, requiring an
extra click to get a PDF of an article. Nobody has time for that. This is a simple fix: a Google Chrome Extension that modifies the links to the PDFs such that they won't open up with frames.

Florence Débarre (ID: 0000008bad60465a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/25/2015 This is just the extension I've been dreaming of.

Douglas Kell (ID: 0000005114c0ea0c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/30/2015 Outstanding, but need continual updating as the dastardly publishers try to make it hard to download the pdf files we have licenses for

Nitol Neophyte (ID: 00000099f736ccff) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/03/2015 awesome add-on :) exactly what I wanted- capturing whole page as a image and turning it into a pdf having all links....I got what I wanted...thanks to the team :)

Chris Hamm (ID: 00000065321c6187) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/09/2014 Like everything vsbuffalo does, he reached out like the god of the Sistine chapel and touched Chrome. Not in a creepy way, in a god-like way, like the Michelangelo. Anyway, he reached down with his "computer skills" infused hand and made Chrome better (he should work on fixing the memory leaks in Chrome next!). He has the computational Midas touch. Midas the ancient king and not Midas the auto-repair shop. Though I suspect the auto-repair shop is probably the better simile. Either Midas, vsbuffalo rocked this extension. You go vsbuffalo!
