org-ref uses pattern matching to try to retrieve the pdf for you. In
this case, it looks like this url falls through to the generic pattern,
which doesn't actually point to the pdf.

To fix this, you need a new function that takes the article url and
generates the pdf url somehow. I have added a function to org-ref to try
to do this. It seems to work on this example.

set doi-utils-download-pdf to nil.

There probably is not a good way to make this easy. the simplest is just
to rename it according to the bibtex key and put it in the
org-ref-pdf-directory. See my comment on the issue on Github.
