      Tangent: This is a good site for PDFs, immensely better than scribd. Whenever I click a link in the PDF (for eg. pg 17), the document zoomed in permanently. I cannot find a way to revert back to original zoom, even opening the link again does not help. So whoever is running the site, please look into this bug.

        Here's the project's GitHub issue page: https://github.com/joepie91/pdfy/issues https://github.com/joepie91/pdfy/issues

        Ctrl+Scroll worked for me in Firefox on Windows 7. Though I see no reason why clicking a link should result in the zoom level changing, so it does seem like a bug.

        Click the down arrow in the top left corner then click the minus button to scroll out.

        It appears to be a bug in pdf.js (or the PDF format itself): https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/5064 https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/5064 As somebody else mentioned, you can use the arrow/triangle to display the regular viewer toolbar, and zoom out. This is obviously not ideal, but there's not much else that can be done until a fix comes from pdf.js upstream, I suppose.

        Turns out it's a "feature" of the PDF format.

      Thank you who ever did this. I have University access to this, but my University website is down at the moment.

  Even better. For a measly 10.000 in tuition I can access the article!
  - wyager 12y ago
    I wasn't suggesting that, obviously. I was trying to be helpful and point out that students have free access.

      OT: Technically, it is not free access. You (or at public institutions, the general public) paid for your access … in discussions on open access, I often learn that many researchers, scientists etc. are under the impression that they already have open access although the simply get routed around paywalls because they use IP addresses of their paying institutions.

        Really? Universities don't have a bulk subscription plan or something?

    He's saying, for students, there's zero marginal cost to access it

And after reading the price tag, remember how much value Elsevier added to the document.
