why my annotations from adobe reader Locked in Zotero pdf reader ?

I am using Zotero 6 with a couple of extensions like Zotero-pdf-translate, and better-notes. sometimes I try to transfer my adobe annotations to Zotero. it is a little bit of pain in the neck. couldn't editing the annotations which is sad.

Not sure what you mean here. The lock icon just means that they're external annotations — i.e., embedded in the PDF file rather than imported into the Zotero database. If you want to move them into Zotero, you should be able to import them from the File menu of the PDF reader.
