Zotero starts to run out of memory after a few dozen annotations

Error submission ID 1413564488.

Having a big problem recently I've never encountered before. I have a bunch of book-length PDFs in the 300-500 MB range and up that I annotate using the built-in annotation tool. I primarily rely on the image snip annotation format. After a certain number of annotations (not that many, maybe 30 or so?) the program starts to fail catastrophically--the file no longer opens reliably and I can't extract the annotations using the "Add Note From Annotations" function. I have 16 gigs of RAM, running Windows 11, so it seems implausible that it's just purely the size of the file. Anyone have any idea what might be happening?
  • Yes, this happens because of file size, because Zotero 6 on Windows is only 32-bit and can utilize only a limited amount of your memory. The issue will be fixed in Zotero 7.
