I can't do anything with Zotero
Hello.
I just installed Zotero, and for the past hour I couldn't make any progress in importing my references.
One of the reason I installed a reference manager was to link bibtex files to pdf files.
So my plan was to import each pdfs on Zotero and link them to bibtex files I found online.
From what I understood, the "retrieve metadata button" is supposed to automatically import the metadata from the internet, however for all my scanned book pdf, it simply doesn't work.
For some reason, with both the bibtex and the pdf files at hand I cannot create a single entry with the pdf associated to the metadatas.
The other thing I considered is creating a new "Book" item, but I found no button for filling the metadatas from my bibtex file, and I am not filling them by hand for all the pdfs I have.
Am I missing something? Or is Zotero not up to my expectatipons?
