Upgrade Storage(Report ID: 2145422987) Add Note from Annotations stopped working
1. Suddenly, when I select "Add Note from Annotation,"on a newly annotated pdf, an Annotations note is not produced.
2. When I select "Add Note from Annotation" from an item that has a pre-exiting Annotations note, an Annotations note is produced. However, if I add a new annotation to it, and then select "Add Note from Annotation," the note is produced, but the note does not contain the new annotation.
I was inclined to reinstall Zotero, but I think I should wait for instructions.

Zotero 6.0.14
Restarted Zotero, then performed #1 and #2, below:
#1
Click on (highlight) Item containing NEW annotated pdf;
Right-click Add Note from Annotations;
No Annotations note appears in the Item;
No error message appeared on my screen.
#2
Click on (highlight) Item containing PREEXISTING annotated pdf, and preexisting Annotations notes;
Open pdf contained in Item; appended new comment to existing comment, close pdf;
Right click Add Note from Annotations;
Annotations note appears in the Item, but the newly appended comment is not in the new Annotations note;
No error message appeared on my screen.
If you add a new PDF to your library with a parent item and add a single highlight annotation in the built-in PDF reader, and then use Add Note from Annotations, are you saying no new note appears under the parent item?
I think there may be some anomalies that I'm not technologically knowledgeable to recognize, but, at least in my case, I am having a problem. I prefer using Acrobat, and I say this respectfully, you offer us the option of using other PDF readers, so Zotero should work with Acrobat. At this point, I am invested in both. Please help me with a fix.
FIRST EXAMPLE
1. Imported new, unannotated pdf into Zotero;
2. Open pdf in Acrobat;
3. Annotated the pdf;
4. Right-click "Add Note from Annotations;"
5. NO NOTE ADDED
6. Open same pdf in Zotero PDF reader;
7. All annotations made using Acrobat (see step #3) are visible; close pdf;
8. Right-click "Add Note from Annotations;"
9. ANNOTATION NOTE ADDED WITH ALL ANNOTATIONS MADE IN ACROBAT
10. Open same pdf in Acrobat;
11. All annotations originally made are visible;
12. Add a new highlight; save;
13. Right-click "Add Note from Annotations;"
14. ANNOTATION NOTE ADDED BUT DOES NOT CONTAIN NEW HIGHLIGHT (see step #12); ONLY CONTAINS THE ANNOTATIONS THAT WERE IN THE ZOTERO NOTE (see step #9).
SECOND EXAMPLE
1. Imported new, pdf into Zotero that was already annotated in Acrobat;
2. Open pdf in Zotero reader, import annotations;
3. Right-click "Add Note from Annotations;"
4. ANNOTATIONS NOTE ADDED TO WITH ALL ANNOTATIONS MADE IN ACROBAT
5. Open same pdf in Acrobat:
6. All annotations NOT visible;
7. Annotate pdf again in Acrobat; save;
8. Right-click "Add Note from Annotations;"
9. ANNOTATION NOTE ADDED BUT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE ANNOTATIONS MADE IN ACROBAT (see step #7); IT ONLY CONTAINS THE ANNOTATIONS THAT WERE IN THE ZOTERO NOTE (see step #4).
THIRD EXAMPLE
1. Imported new pdf into Zotero that was already annotated in Acrobat;
2. Open pdf in Acrobat, added new annotation;
3. Right-click "Add Note from Annotations;"
4. No Note created
5. Open same pdf in Zotero;
6. All annotations made in Acrobat are visible;
7. Do not import annotations;
8. Add new annotation; close
9. Right-click "Add Note from Annotations;"
10. ANNOTATIONS NOTE ADDED WITH ALL ANNOTATIONS IN THE NOTE
11. Open same pdf in Acrobat;
12. Only Acrobat annotations are visible, not the new annotation made in Zotero reader (see step #8);
13. Right-click "Add Note from Annotations;"
14. ANNOTATIONS NOTE ADDED CONTAINING ALL ANNOTATIONS MADE, INCLUDING THE NEW ANNOTATION MADE IN ZOTERO THAT WAS NOT VISIBLE IN ACROBAT
Thanks for the steps. We'll investigate.
When I import a pdf annotated in Adobe, then I click on "Add Note from Annotations" nothing happens. And I do not have any error message.
I realized that I need to first open the pdf in the built-in pdf reader, and then Zotero is able to add a note from the annotations.
It makes the process longer, which is not very ideal...
Let me know if that can be solved!
