CDATA in the title
When Zotero extracts the metadata from a pdf, it doesn't properly sanitise the output, leaving it within the CDATA tag as e.g.:
<![CDATA[A Parametric Approach to List Decoding of Reed-Solomon Codes Using Interpolation]]>
Most other data seems to be correctly extracted. This has happened to me repeatedly on importing pdfs directly but not with all pdfs.
For example, it happens to me if trying to extract the metadata from pdf from the following arXiv-stored pdf:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1211.0122v2
Importing into Zotero from the respective arXiv works perfectly fine.
I am using Firefox 21 and Zotero 4.0.8 on an up-to-date Arch Linux.
Does anyone know what's happening?

Upgrade Storage
We generally recommend using the URL bar icon for importing metadata over the "Retrieve Metadata" functionality. 99 times out of 100 your results should be more complete.
Yeah, I generally try to use pages' information over pdfs; the example I gave was just a publically available one so that others could try to reproduce.
