problem with retrieving metadata for PDF

p.lenz
hello everyone,

I use zotero standalone for windows 7. I createt a bibliography and imported a bunch of PDFs into it. You can retreive the metadata from several PDFs. But for many it is NOT retrievable.
SO i think it must be possible to change it manually. But when you look at the right side of the window, you can only change the file name, not the author, title, etc.

So how do i adjust the PDF metadata manually?

Thx to all reviewers

    Right click on the PDF and select "create parent item"

    do you know how I change the kind of information you can add concerning the PDF, e.g.
    - series
    - year of publication
    - miscellany
    - printing place
    etc.

    you can't customize which fields are available for a given item type, if that's your question?
