zotero://open-pdf/ link

Zeqian

First I was getting error ("ColorPop error") very often when I trying to change the annotation color using Zotero internal pdf reader. Then i learned that the 6.0.22 has 3 additional colors available, so I upgrade it from the previous version 6.0.21. Then the color error resolves itself.

But now I was unable to open zotero pdf reader using the link "zotero://open-pdf/library/items/VTRS7W23?page=2&annotation=MGFHCGNX", which works for me before the upgrade (so in 6.0.21).

If pertinent, I used the plugin zotero integration to export annotations and create links to obsidian.

Can you reproduce this with a link created by Zotero itself (i.e., Quick Copy on an annotation or exporting a note with an added annotation to Markdown)?

If so, can you provide a Debug ID for reproducing it?

Sorry I was not sure how to reproduce the link by Zotero itself.

But I tried the two supported formats as mentioned in [discussion](https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/86980/quickly-create-a-open-pdf-link), by just typing them in markdown document and the second one can work.

- zotero://open-pdf/library/items/[itemKey]?page=[page]
- zotero://open-pdf/groups/[groupID]/items/[itemKey]?page=[page]

The Debug ID is D1666778821.

Thank you so much.

Those are the same format. One is just for My Library and the other is for groups.

If you're having trouble with something, start by disabling all your third-party plugins.

I'm having the same issue using a link generated using the steps described by @dstillman. It just switches to the app by doesn't open the specified pdf or annotation. All third-party plugins are disabled, using version 7.02

zotero://open-pdf/library/items/[itemKey] is working in 7.0.0-beta.52+2f8e536f2 but not in 7.02 (tested with plugins disabled)
