Retrieve Metadata from PDF in a link file
Hello,
I used Zotfile to store all my pdf in an external folder from Zotero's default folder (in order to have an easier access).
I want to correct some of those pfds' metadatas with Zoteros, but when I click right on them, the usual "retrieve metadata from PDF" option doesn't appear. Is it because the pdfs are only "linked" to Zotero and not actually stored in it? Is it possible to bypass this limitation?
Best regards,

Some of my references in Zotero have bad metadatas, and I would like to correct them "automatically"
Is it possible to do it with a "regular Zotero item"?
Do you have an idea of when it will be available? I have more than 700 references to update so it might be worth it to wait a few weeks
I also have a lot of references with linked PDF files from which I can't extract metadata.
