Download Bibliographic Metadata not working with DevonThink 4?

I like to use DT to store PDFs of academic papers I’ve downloaded. I see lots of references to using the external script Download Bibliographic Metadata as part of a Smart Rule, but it doesn’t seem to be working in DT4 Beta. All the data in the Data subtab of the info panel is blank, even though it seems to run on all the PDFs.

Anyone else seeing this?

Do the PDFs contain a DOI?

I am seeing no issue with a PDF having a DOI.
Try this one…

Thanks, this worked. I was able to manually trigger the rule. For some reason, it didn’t seem to be auto-triggering on import, but I may have been doing something wrong. Regardless, it does seem to work.
