The metadata retrieval of a particular pdf is giving "No matching references found". The url of pdf is
http://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0512106v1.pdf

Kindly resolve the issue

    You can go to the arXiv page itself and save the metadata in the first place, which will also save the pdf for you:

    http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0512106v1

    (you won't get metadata for every PDF. It's generally more reliable to grab items via Save to Zotero icon as zuphilip suggests).

    Agree with the idea that getting it via the save to Zotero icon is a better experience, but do we have thoughts on whether we should improve PDF import for specific PDF providers? All arXiv PDFs are watermarked with a link that is the very first line converted when using pdftotext. This one says:arXiv:physics/0512106v1 [physics.soc-ph] 12 Dec 2005and it'd seem fairly trivial to look for that on PDF import.

    I'm very much in favor of any such attempts on databases that are non-marginal. Nothing but advantages: additional hits, better data, and less reliance on google scholar.
    Even if we run 25 such regexes on every PDF, that'd still be plenty fast.
