Invalid Bibtex records / DOI not extracted from imported PDF files #6577

@avm19

Description

@avm19

Observed behaviour:
Some PDF files are imported as invalid Bibtex records of type @Misc with empty Bibtexkey and with only one field file. I suppose, this is caused the failure to extract DOI from the first page of a PDF file. (JabRef docs say "In case a DOI is found on the first page, the DOI is used to generate the BibTeX information")

Expected behaviour:
JabRef extracts DOI from the PDF and retrieves the necessary information from the internet.

Steps to reproduce the observed behavior:

  1. Download the pdf file
  2. In JabRef: Lookup -> Search for unlinked local files; scan the directory with the file, select the file, proceed to Import.
  3. Observe a new record in the database, which looks as follows:
