Imported annotations won't go back to tablet.

rafaelcardosoport
Hello, Sorry if the question has already appeared, but I searched and did not find my problem.

I'm trying to annotate Zotero PDFs on my Android tablet using Zotfile and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Everything works when I send the zotero to the tablet, I open it and annotate it in Adobe Acrobat Reader and take it back to zotero and import the annotations in the pdf viwer to be able to edit them.

However, when I send the file back to the tablet it comes back completely clean, without annotations. Do I need to do anything to get Zotero annotations and see then in adobe again?

Problably missing something.

    When you ask Zotero to import the annotations they are removed from the PDF. If you want them to remain there, you should not import them. They would still be visible in the Zotero PDF reader, but locked. Conversely, any annotations created in Zotero's reader are not written to the PDF, unless you select File\Save As, to explicitly re-write the PDF.
