PNAS PDF - right click - Retrieve metadata for PDF - No matching references found

fij
Hi,

After downloading this PDF: http://www.pnas.org/content/107/1/175.full.pdf , saving it into Zotero (clicking on green "+" sign and then selecting "Store copy of local file"), I tried to (as always) right click on the PDF in Zotero and then selected "Retrieve metadata for PDF", but I received an error message: "No matching references found." What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot
Illes

    In general I'd recommend getting the data from the publisher site via URL bar icon:
    http://www.pnas.org/content/107/1/175.short
    this probably even attaches the pdf automatically.
    That said, retrieving metadata for that pdf works for me. Make sure the pdf is indexed when you try (indexed: yes in the right pane).
    If that's not it, you could try providing debug output for the attempt to retrieve metadata: http://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output
    (note - post the debug ID here, _not_ the output, though if your somewhat computer literate you may want to look at the output yourself to see if you can make out what's going on).

    Thanks, it works! The URL bar icon is great!
