Automatic retrieval of PDFs is done on a publisher and journal level, and the functions are routinely broken by changes made by them. I'll take a look at ACS, but remember you can always use Bookends Browser to search the journal's web site and, if you can get to the PDF (if you have privileges) you can always import it by drag and drop or a right-click.

great! it will be very useful as I use this feature almost every day. Browsing the webpages, downloading pdf and attach them is a time-consuming process.

Actually, the last update was an unscheduled release to fix a bug in the update notification process. The real next update, with the fixes mentioned, is anticipated to be in 10 days or so.
