Does Zotero make compressed libraries?

ruthenium2008

I am a long-time EndNote user (yes, boooo), but I decided to support Zotero now. One feature, that I have not been able to find in Zotero, is how to share (via email or cloud) my libraries with biblio infor+pdfs with other users. EndNote can create a compressed library (enlx), which is a single file, that accurately transmits both biblio and pdfs. Does Zotero have an equivalent of "compressed library"?

Not in the exact same way, no.
You do have Zotero groups, though, and you can, of course, export with files (e.g. as Zotero RDF) and then zip the folder (which I'd guess enlx is doing too)

thank you for your reply. So, what would be the best way to send someone a Zotero library with pdfs attached and groups preserved? What is Zotero RDF? I could not find its description on this forum.
