Zotero can import bibliographic data in a wide variety of formats, including by indexing PDF documents. Users new to Zotero may find the prospect of importing all their data somewhat daunting. You can also manually create file copies and file links by clicking the “New Item” ( ) button at the top of the center column and selecting “Store Copy of File…” or “Link to File…”, respectively.With the Zotero Desktop Application, you can also manually attach snapshots, links, and copies to items via the Attachment Menu (shown below), or by right-clicking any item and going into the "Add Attachment" menu.You can attach files by clicking the Attachments tab and then the Add button. Each item also has an Attachments tab in the right column.If successful, Zotero will create a parent metadata entry and attach the PDF as a child item, renaming it based on the bibliographic information.
