Retrieve Metadata for PDF
I followed the instructions provided and made sure the correct PDF utility was installed in Zotero data directory (I used the automatic update of this through Preferences). My PDF are indexed but when I go to retrieve metadata it get hung up. When I look at the cached PDF file in Zotero data directory it seems to get hung up after 1-2 PDF pages. Any input would be helpful.
"Error de parseo XML: entidad indefinida

LĂnea 9, Columna 3: <label id="label" control="progress-indicator" value="&zotero.recognizePDF.recognizing.label;"/>

drskouk: PDF recognizing won't work in SP2.1 with non-English locales. You could fix it by temporarily changing your locale to English by going to about:config in the Firefox address bar, changing general.useragent.locale to en-US, and restarting Firefox.
Thanks
For reference, here's mfm154's error above (which isn't related to locales):

I still get the same error message - it is perplexing to me as I am using version 1.5-sync2.1. Any other ideas?

oops, sorry, I see its the same that drskouk posted. never mind
Is there a simple way to get an online PDF to my library? Currently I save the pdf to my hard disk, Open explorer, drag the pdf to zotero, retrieve meta data for pdf. Not that difficult, but I am thinking there might be a way to directly save the online PDF to my library.
So if you want metadata retrieval for an attached pdf, drag it away from its parent item so it is a single item and then do retrieval. Note that metadata retrieval is a 2nd best option - the ideal is to use a site translator that gets you the pdf as well as the metadata all at once.
