duplicated annotation when reopening exported pdf

For given pdf I opened it up in Zotero pdf reader and took some annotations, these are stored in Zotero database and I want to them to be accessible with external pdf reader. So I use File → “Export PDF…”. The annotations on the exported pdf are now accessible with external pdf reader. So far so good.

However, if I now open this exported pdf in Zotero pdf reader, those annotation will be duplicated. One being viewed as "imported" annotations with lock sign, one being the origin annotation that are stored in Zotero database.

This behavior is not ideal though what is happening is Zotero export the annotation to the pdf while still keep the annotations in the database and thus duplication.

Can we reconcile this duplication issue? Moreover, can we make "automatically export /save annotation to pdf every time we close it in Zotero pdf reader" an option to check?
