Changes links to PDFs of journal articles to the PDF version (not HTML+PDF version with frames)
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.

- (2015-11-25) Florence Débarre: This is just the extension I've been dreaming of.
- (2015-08-30) Douglas Kell: Outstanding, but need continual updating as the dastardly publishers try to make it hard to download the pdf files we have licenses for <sigh>
- (2015-05-03) Nitol Neophyte: 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 :)
- (2014-09-09) Chris Hamm: 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!
