import pdf directly from pdf reader Zotero 5.0

ari

Hi, I would like to import directly from the pdf reader the open pdf file.
From Adobe reader it is not possible but from the pdf reader plugin of firefox there was a "save to zotero" option when you clicked in the download icon.
Now with Z5.0 I do not see anymore this feature.
Any suggestion?

You can just click the Zotero Connector's save button while viewing the PDF.

You can also drag the icon to the left of the address bar or the tab icon to Zotero, either as a standalone item or onto an existing item to create a child attachment.

Thank you for the answer!
Unfortunately I download pdf files from a private company interface that allows to open pdf plugin in a separate (secured?) window withouth both menu and zotero button.
The pdf plugin is inside an html frame therefore if I drag the icon it takes the frame code as attachement.
A workaround is right click->current frame-> open in a new tab and then go as you suggest. Then the one click functionality needs several clicks :)
The old method in firefox allowed directly both save the file and retrieve metadata for pdf and was more immediate.
If somebody has some suggestions they are welcome :)
