Upgrade StorageHaving trouble retrieving metadata from Word docs that have been PDFed
Hello,
I have a series of documents that were originally Word docs that were converted to PDF. Sometimes Zotero is able to retrieve the metadata from these documents, but I have a large group of docs I am working with right now and Zotero won't retrieve the metadata for any of them. Any suggestions?

noksagtedited May 12, 2010Zotero uses Google Scholar and CrossRef to try and determine the metadata for published, academic papers that are in these scholarly databases. If the PDFs you generated from Word documents are not such works, there is no way for Zotero to identify them. You can create items yourself & place the PDFs as child objects manually.
