PDF retrieval for library items

Bourde
Is there a function to retrieve available PDFs for selected entries?
This would be a great functionality.
Also, if I am connected to my institution and have access to PDFs that otherwise would be restricted, it would be great that Zotero can detect this and attach them to my library items.

    Select one or more items -> right-click -> Find Available PDFs

    Thanks. I see this for some entries but not for others. Why is this so?

    It's only available for items that have either a DOI or a URL and don't already have a PDF attached.

    Thank you. If I'm connected to my institution and have access rights to paywalled publications, will these be added?

    Mosty, yes, though this requires direct access (i.e. on campus or via VPN), a web proxy won't work.
