PNAS PDF - right click - Retrieve metadata for PDF - No matching references found

Hi,

After downloading this PDF: http://www.pnas.org/content/107/1/175.full.pdf , saving it into Zotero (clicking on green "+" sign and then selecting "Store copy of local file"), I tried to (as always) right click on the PDF in Zotero and then selected "Retrieve metadata for PDF", but I received an error message: "No matching references found." What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot

  • In general I'd recommend getting the data from the publisher site via URL bar icon:
    http://www.pnas.org/content/107/1/175.short
    this probably even attaches the pdf automatically.
    That said, retrieving metadata for that pdf works for me. Make sure the pdf is indexed when you try (indexed: yes in the right pane).
    If that's not it, you could try providing debug output for the attempt to retrieve metadata: http://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output
    (note - post the debug ID here, _not_ the output, though if your somewhat computer literate you may want to look at the output yourself to see if you can make out what's going on).
  • Thanks, it works! The URL bar icon is great!
