Saving PDFs as citable records

Hi, I was wondering whether you could help.

I'm trying to save conference papers from this website - http://www.servdes.org/conference-2014-lancaster/

The conference papers are PDFs. When I click on any of them, the Zotero Firefox connector cannot pick up the metadata. If I try to save the webpage from current item, it saves a PDF rather than an item record that I can cite.

Is there any way around this? Is it possible to cite these PDFs without having to do it manually.

Cheers
  • save the PDF, then run retrieve metadata.

    In Firefox, you can also download the item from the PDF reader and you'll have an option in the download dialog to save to Zotero and run retrieve metadata.
  • Thanks Adam, that is brilliant and so helpful! I've tried it and it works. Cheers!
