Issues with annotation
Hi,
I have recently realized that Zotero is not exporting ALL my highlighted text from the PDF to the note. I am using an external PDF reader to highlight text because if I use the Zotero feature when I read the PDF on my tablet or phone, I cannot see anything highlighted.
The problem is that a few highlighted texts are either not extracted or partially extracted (the sentence is cut off).
If I open the pdf inside Zotero, I can see the same partially extracted text on the left bar, although the pdf showed the entirely highlighted paragraph.
If I delete everything and highlight just the portion left out, with the same external PDF reader, Zotero correctly extracts that portion of text!
I am using PDF Xchange editor to reak and highlight PDFs. If I use Acrobat, the situation is even worse.
I am using Zotero 6.0.36. I know this post (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/99150/problem-with-extracting-annotations), but the solution is not working since I did not modify anything in the config.
Is there a solution or external plugin that I can use to extract the text? I remember that in Zotero 5, this feature worked fine (if I recall correctly, it was done by a plugin).
I am attaching a screenshot: the entire paragraph was highlighted together, but as you can see on the left, just the first sentence was extracted

Thank you!

The problem persists after importing it to a Zotero annotation.
Thank you
Does the issue have to do with "Ca2+" word? Cause I have another pdf right now, cutting all the sentences that have the Ca2+ ion word inside...
How of curiosity: do you have an ETA for this fix?
Many thanks for your help and work!
Cheers!
