Using the Safari connector and Zotero Standalone I am unable to retrieve bibliographic data on a magazine article published in pdf format. The article is from the current issue of the magazine -- American Educator -- not in the archive of past issues. The article is not available as a web page.

I've tried saving the pdf, storing a copy in Zotero, and then doing a "retrieve metadata for pdf, but Zotero reports "Could not read text from pdf."

I located another article from the same issue of this magazine through Google Scholar. When I saved a copy in Zotero the bibliographic information was incomplete. [It had only the name of the publication and the year of publication.]

I'm guessing this is not possible, that in this situation the bibliographic data have to be entered manually.

is that right?

Thanks,
