I'm a new user - importing pdfs
Hi, I'm brand new to Zotero. I imported several pdfs into my library, but Zotero could not identify metadata from the pdfs. How can I go back and add the metadata manually to the pdf? Thanks.

1) Right-click on the PDF and choose Create Parent Item, and then add the metadata manually.
2) Add an item another way (most likely either through the browser or using Add Item by Identifier) and drag the PDF onto the newly created item. If the PDF is just a random document or report, there's a good chance this won't be an option.
