The process to "Buy on PACER" is to click the button which takes you to the right court with the right URL. If you are not logged in you are redirected to the PACER site to log in. Once you log in you are redirected back to the court's ECF page.

Once there you are presented with a document selection page. After the documents have been selected you have a choice of either "View Selected" or "Download Selected"

Regardless of which you click, you will be taken to the charges page. On the charges page you can choose to accept the charges or not.

If you got to the charges page by pressing the "View Selected" then the RECAP extension will not upload anything. It doesn't matter if you save to disk or view in browser, there is no upload.

If you got to the charges page by pressing the "Download Selected" then once you have accepted the charges the RECAP extension performs correctly.

I'm not sure how this interacts with the other issue you filed. Are they the same? If not, can you provide a STR, pleae?

OK, after talking to @ERosendo about this, I understand that the issue is that the View Selected button should show a warning when you click it, since it's not supported. This is an issue with RECAP, so I'm going to move the issue to that repo, but yes, that's a good idea, since we can't support combined PDFs.

Another user bit by this today. I guess we should do something. We don't want a warning every time somebody clicks the button, but it'd be nice to have some sort of suggestion about it somehow. I mean, maybe we could inject the crossed out R icon into the button and put a mouseover on it. That might not be too obtrusive?

I would favor an adjacent annotation rather than increasing the button.
I guess it's not really our style, but I do it like this in my personal js mods:
