Unable to save PDF file to Zotero
I only started using Zotero last night so this may be user error.
When I use an online archive like Jstor, the zotero icon appears in the edge of the address bar. I simply click on it and save the pdf files I want this works fine.
However when I went to this page:
http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/reports/2007/R716.pdf
The zotero icon does not appear?
However on the the page I called this pdf from it does appear?
http://www.rand.org/pubs/reports/R0716.html
I was able to save it by hovering over the pdf link and choosing save as zotero item. But them item is simply saved there is not bibliographic information or anything else.
Is there a way so that I can save the file with fully bibliographic information is such a situation?
Thanks

In all of those cases you'll have to do the retrieve metadata thing I linked to in your other thread.
You'll never get a URL bar icon when only the PDF is displayed in the browser, but many supported sites (including JSTOR) will download the PDF automatically together with the article information from the article/abstract page.
I am using Firefox 23.0.1. and Zotero from browser.
Below is the link to our school library article, I can view the PDF in the same window but there is no 'save to Zotero' file icon on that page. So I tried "create web page item ..." as suggested in the forum to create a link. But the title shows the citation attribute values instead of the article's title. I would like to know if this is JStor's problem or a problem in my Zotero set up. And, how do I retrieve metadata correctly?

Thanks so much.
http://www.jstor.org.proxy.lib.sfu.ca/stable/40398803
and that will save both data and PDF.
How exactly do you end up at the above URL?
I first picked JSTOR as I described above but the "save to Zotero" does not save the PDF properly. (the page below also shows the pdf text in an embedded window.)

This morning I tried the EBSCO link and it worked just fine.

Maybe this is not Zotero's problem but a problem how different texts are linked differently in our library system. You have helped resolve the save to EBSCO problem earlier. So perhaps I should just stick to EBSCO where possible.
Let me know if I interpret this incorrectly. Thanks.
We'll fix this so this won't be necessary, but that should do as a workaround in the meantime.
Such information is useful so that I could move on to new searches, etc. Thank you so much again!
Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting

The above URL appeared when I clicked "Linked Fulltext" on the library search result page. 'Save to Zotero' does show up when I view the results.
Hope you have a solution to this. Thank you.
I had TX "new venture strategy" AND TX strategy, filtered out all except 8 journals.

Hope the above info helps. Thanks.
