books and .pdfs disappearing from Library
O.K., more novice problems:
1. When trying to retrieve metadata from .pdf's in my library using Google Scholar, I receive the message: "Could not read text from .pdf." At the same time, right clicking (I use a MAC) does not allow me to enter citation data manually.
2. When trying to retrieve, book citations from Google Scholar, the book title with all its citations will appear in the right pane and then in the middle pane, but, after a few seconds, will disappear from both panes, and from the library.

For #2, usually that happens when someone has installed another Zotero extension that automatically exports new items (e.g., to BibTeX) and deletes them. If that's not the case for you, provide a Report ID and a Debug ID that covers a save and automatic deletion.
