Importing PDFs from remote URL with Native XML Plugin

Hi @ctgraham,

thanks for your answer. I don’t know exactly where to put the href-tag. Within “submission”?

I tried the following

<submission_file stage="proof" id="1">
  <revision number="1" genre="Article Text" filename="xyz.pdf" viewable="true" date_uploaded="2009-01-01" date_modified="2009-01-01" filetype="application/pdf">
    <name>xyz.pdf</name>
    <href src="...remote url..." mime_type="application/pdf"/>
  </revision>
</submission_file>
<article_galley>
  <name>PDF</name>
  <seq>0</seq>
  <submission_file_ref id="1" revision="1"/>
</article_galley>

When I try to upload this XML I get an error, that a temporary file could not be created. I wonder if something’s wrong in the XML, or if some rights on our server are missing. The folder, where the remote PDF comes from, is accessible and the upload folder in ojs is writable.
