Importing PDFs from my computer
Hallo,
I am new to Zotero and I am willing moved here because of bad support of Mendeley and long-lasting bugs which appeared crucial to me. There is one question I have problems with and therefore need your advice.
I have plenty of PDFs stored in my PC I would like to transfer to my library. Some of the PDFs have inordinary file names the articles cannot be recognized. When I stored them in Mendeley the library showed the true title of the article with no trouble. Now I see that when I import the same article into Zotero the file name appears as it is in the PC and I cannot recognize the title contained within this article neither I can import this article into my bibliograhy since Zotero does not currently recognizes this article.
How to overcome this issue? I suggest probably I did something wrong but cannot guess what.
Looking to receiving your reply soon.
