Pdf files not imported

Hi DaltonST,

got small problem importing pdf using ZMI, I need your support.

My configuration is as follow:

Windows 10 Pro 32 bit [language ita]
Zotero Standalone vers. 4.0.29.10 [language ita]
Calibre 32 bit vers. 2.77.0 [language eng]
ZMI plugin vers. 1.0.35 [language eng]

Locations:
Zotero profile : in standard location C:\Users\roby_\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero\Profi les\
Zotero library : in standard location C:\Users\roby_\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero\Profi les\xv7l7kj8.default\zotero\storage\
Calibre library : in standard location C:\Users\roby_\Documents\Biblioteca di calibre

Steps performed:
Zotero : Export library as CSV file
Calibre : Import CVS file using Auto-Step Mode
ZMI Options: Automatically validate... CHECKED
Enable Auto-Step.. CHECKED
Create an 'empty book'... CHECKED
Create Tags from ZAutomatic... CHECKED
Create Tags from ZManual... CHECKED

Results achieved:
all metadata are correctly in place BUT pdf file is not uploaded, instead the default .txt shows in book windows.

Further checks:
Zfile Attachments: shows the correct location for pdf file, checked via copy and past the address into windows explore, the pdf opens.
CVS file: shows the correct location for pdf file, checked via copy and past the address into windows explore, the pdf opens.

Other configuration tested:
  • Win 10 32 bit [language ita] + Calibre [language ita], same result achieved, metadata in place, no pdf available
  • Win 10 64 bit [language ita] + Calibre [language ita], same result achieved, metadata in place, no pdf available
  • Win 10 64 bit [language ita] + Calibre [language eng], same result achieved, metadata in place, no pdf available
  • Run Calibre as administrator (various combination as above) same result achieved, metadata in place, no pdf available.
  • Tested different locations for zotero library , either inside o outside standard profile in C:\, and using different drives same result achieved, metadata in place, no pdf available.

Every alternative configuration has been tested rebuilding every time Zotero library and creating an empty Calibre library.

For the main configuration described at the begining of the post i provide the following:
  • - CSV file
  • - Zotero profile (library enclosed in "storage" folder
  • - Calibre debug file

The question is:
Do you have any suggestion on how to make ZMI import pdf ?

Thank
Rob
