Do not have the option to retrieve PDF Metadata

jigish · March 10, 2009

I am using the 1.5 beta version. I dragged a PDF file from my computer into my zotero library. The support instruction indicate that I right click on the pdf file and there should be an option to retrieve pdf data. But I do NOT have that option. any ideas?

Do you have the PDF Indexing components installed? Go to the Search pane of Zotero Preferences to install them.

also, what are your options when you rightclick the pdf in question?

Thank you Sean. The PDF indexing components were not installed. Did that and the option popped out and all works great. Zotero rules...
