Change Item Type

I cannot change the item type for several pdf's that downloaded to Zotero. They seem to be saved as an "attachment" and it won't let me change it to a report or anything else. I can find the drop down menu next to Item Type for some fo the files, but not for my pdfs. Any help is appreciated.
  • You want to actually attach them to an item first, either by using right-click ---> Retrieve Metadata or, where that fails, right-click --> Attach to Parent Item.

    You can't assign item types to files itself. You attach them to an item.
