Using Electronic Journal Indices on the Macintosh

Some of the electronic academic journal indices I use for grad school, like EBSCOhost, don't seem especially Macintosh-friendly. Clicking on the link to download the PDF full text of an article doesn't generate a PDF, it gives you "ContentServer.asp," which launches Apple System Profiler. I noticed the file downloaded invariably matched the size of the PDF file EBSCOhost claimed to be delivering, so I just renamed "ContentServer.asp" with a PDF extension and POOF! -- a usable PDF.
