Checking the indexing status of specific PDF files?

tapatoga

Hello,

As the "Index Statistics" in the setting show quite a substantial number of unindexed PDF files in my Zotero library (which were not indexed either by rebuilding the index), I would like to check which PDF files have not been indexed.

In a very old post here in this forum, I read:
"You can check the status of indexing for a given file in Zotero by examining its info pane, which will say Indexed: Yes|No|Partial."
(https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/2217/imported-pdf-does-not-index)

Is this still possible in the current version of Zotero? I could not find this information in the info pane. Or is there any other way to find out which PDF files in my library were not indexed/could not be indexed?

Yes, the information is there. Maybe you are looking at the info pane of the parent item? The Indexed field is in the info pane of the attachment.

Yes, you can see that when you click on any PDF attachement in the central pane.

Thanks. Yes, that was the problem. I did not look for it in the correct info pane.

When does Zotero usually index files? When the computer is idle or directly after importing a PDF file? I ask because I recently imported PDF files and they were not immediately indexed.
