What is the right way to get PDF in

I want to import many PDFs. I drag them into zotero. Some are correctly recognized, but some are old scanned papers, and contain no info. So I have to manually correct them. I'm trying to figure out how to do that efficiently.
Do I have to do the following:
1. Create parent item
2. Edit parent item to have some identifying info
3. Click google scholar search
4. In web browser, identify right entry in google scholar, and import it into zotero with the browser extension
5. Drag the PDF from the parent I made in 1 into the new entry that was generated in 4.

Done!
Is there an easier way? This is quite complicated....
  • If the article has DOI or you know the URL of the paper than there is an easiest way to open the web and import the item from the web.
