How to edit citations for imported pdfs manually ?

Hi everyone,

I am a new user of Zotero and have recently copied most of my research pdfs into the Zotero account. While some successfully had bibliographic data organized through the option of getting the pdf metadata, alot of pdfs I have did not manage to do this.

Is there any way to fix this and have the metadata for those "wronged" files done correctly?

If not, how can I manually edit the bibliographic information in the right window? I've tried but with no success, since the program won't even let me edit the categories such as filename.

Thank you so much
  • Just create a new item using the "Create new item" menu, the + icon, drag a PDF file onto it, and edit the metadata accordingly.
  • And if you can't edit the metadata at right, try disabling Personas and other Firefox add-ons-- something is interfering.
