Description

Currently citoid cannot retrieve metadata from a link to a pdf.

Zotero does this, but there's no support for the feature in translation-server: https://www.zotero.org/support/retrieve_pdf_metadata

Example request that fails: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FB0610FF3F5912738DDDAC0A94D8415B858CF1D3

There is an open bug for this in translation-server here: https://github.com/zotero/translation-server/issues/70

As of July 2020, I confirm that citoid does not handle PDF links, eg https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/data/citation/bibtex/https:%2F%2Fresearch.chalmers.se%2Fpublication%2F508693%2Ffile%2F508693_Fulltext.pdf

FYI, a notable software library to extract metadata from PDFs is grobid: https://github.com/kermitt2/grobid

It looks like Zotero was pretty close to supporting at least some of these, but the PR is still open: https://github.com/zotero/translation-server/pull/59
