Retrieve PDF Metadata has Disappeared?

At some point in the past two weeks, the option to right-click on a PDF and retrieve metadata has disappeared. When I right-click on a PDF I get these options:
View PDF
Show File
Move Item to Trash...
Export Item...
Create Bibliography fromItem...
Generate REport from Item...
Rename File from Parent Metadata
Reindex Item
Attach New File
Management Attachments ->

I'm running Zotero 4.0.8 standalone on a Mac.

Any advice?
  • those are the option displayed for an attached PDF. The PDF needs to be a top level item to use retrieve metadata - you can drag it out from under an item it's attached to if need be.
