PDF's imported but citation not working?

Hello everyone,

I am new to Zotero and recently imported all my PDF's I have been collecting on my computer. When I try to use the write and cite in word, or create a reference in Zotero either on my desktop or on the website in APA 6th it just gives me the title and no date. I'll paste one bellow. Anyone know how to remedy this?

Teacher salaries and teacher attrition.pdf. (n.d.).
  • You can't just cite PDFs. They need to be attached to metadata
    https://www.zotero.org/support/retrieve_pdf_metadata
    is the easiest way. Where it fails,
    right-click --> Create parent item and fill out the data manually.
  • That did the trick! Thank you for the help.
