pdf and note taking

Hi everyone,
I have a number of problems:
1) The drag-and-drop into the middle column doesn't seem to work.
2) Retrieving meta data for pdf keeps failing. I tried to reindex them but that fails too.
3) The folder option when searching on amazon raises translating problem. I've tried: http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues, but it still doesn't work.
4) I have no fonts when taking notes except "preformatted".
I realize some of these issues were discussed previously and I have read the threads, but I didn't manage to solve them.
I'm using ubuntu interpid with the latest editions of firefox and zotero.
Thanks, Adam
  • 1. Drag and drop on Linux is mainly or completely broken.
    2. Make sure you have the pdf libraries installed -- see the Zotero preferences.
    3. Provide a URL
    4. This sounds like something incompatible is installed. Try disabling all Firefox extensions and personas.
  • ad 2) a lot of people are having problems with pdf indexing on Linux, which seems to tend to crash FF
