## Working methods

- europepmc.org/articles/PMC5924899?pdf=render
- europepmc.org/api/getPdf?pmcid=PMC5924899
- wget same URL
- curl -L same URL

## Notable failures

- pnas.org direct (HTTP 403 Cloudflare/bot block)
- doi.org redirect to pnas (403)
- paperscraper save_pdf (all built-in fallbacks failed: XML 404, PNAS PDF 403)
- Unpaywall (422 with example.com email / no url_for_pdf)
- BioC-PMC XML missing
- PMC OA package (idIsNotOpenAccess)
- NCBI PMC /pdf/ HTML interstitial

## Library fix (follow-up)

`fallback_europepmc` previously only fetched `fullTextXML` (404 for this DOI).
It now falls back to `https://europepmc.org/articles/{pmcid}?pdf=render`.

After the fix, `save_pdf({"doi": "10.1073/pnas.1718406115"}, ...)` returns:
`{'success': True, 'method': 'europepmc', 'filetype': 'pdf'}`.
