Upgrade StorageZotero's OCR text recognition to transfer bibliographic information from a PDF document
Dear Guys,
Can you help me here in the forum to transfer bibliographic information from a PDF document using Zotero's OCR text recognition?
I have the problem of downloading journal articles in PDF format from the university-licensed database, but the database does not send any bibliographic information with them. Full stop. I am therefore dependent on reading all the bibliographic information contained on the cover page directly from the PDF using text recognition.
Question for you guys: can Tero do that? And if so, how can I implement it? Full stop. If not, what other free software can someone here in the forum recommend? Full stop.
Thank you so much for your input and help. Thank you
Kind regards, René.

adamsmithIf you actually mean that the PDFs have no text layer and you have to OCR them (which seems very odd, especially for a title page), Zotero can't do that nor can any other app I am aware of. Gen AI models might be able to do something, depending on the title page (and if they are able to identify the right info can export it as RIS, which Zotero can import)
