Exporting annotations in specific format

Hello, I'm new to Zotero and only need it because it can export highlights and comments made in Adobe Acrobat. I want to create a file with all the highlights and comments now.

So when I select all my files that I have loaded into Zotero I can create that. However, I have a problem with the format. I explain it here, but also link an image where it shows what I currently get and what I want.

So currently a PDF in Zotero gets named after it's metadata. I want to have it's filename though. This can easily be done by not automatically downloading the metadata. Then the export will show the filename.

For every single highlight or comment that gets exportet I get some metadata and then the page where that data is from. Here I only want the page to show or the filename and the page. If I don't download the metadata, then I don't get anything at all, not even the page.

Please see the image, it should be clear. https://ibb.co/jRwcRC1

I use the betaversion of Zotero 7 and unfortunately I didn't find any options to specify how this data should be exported.

Hope someone has an idea how I can achieve this. I basically just want the exported highlightsand comments to only contain the filename as it is on my PC as well the page that the highlights and comments are from. No metadata, since these are just a mess for most of my documents and I have about 7'000 of them, so I can't manually change that.
  • Ok, I fixed it with a python script that extracts the desired information in the desired format from PDFs. Bye Zotero :(
