For users accessing ScienceDirect content when using an AFBI PC or laptop, you may encounter a problem with accessing the PDF from within an article page, for example https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022030216001004.

When clicking on the ‘Download PDF’ link, you normally see two options – ‘Download this article’ and ‘Download this issue’.  If you click on the ‘Download PDF’ link when using an AFBI PC or laptop, nothing happens and you cannot select the ‘Download this article’ link:
