How do I add PDFs to my Zotero reference?

Answer

If the source you are referencing has a downloadable PDF, you can add this to your Zotero reference listing. 

Download the PDF.

You can add to Zotero by either: 

  • opening your ‘Downloads’ folder and your Zotero App. Drag and drop the PDF from your downloads to the relevant listing in Zotero. OR 

  • right click the item listing in your Zotero library, select ‘Add Attachment’ then ‘Attach stored copy of file’. Select the downloaded PDF from your file explorer.
