Export pdf Files of Entire Collection

potheekaami

I need to share all the pdf files of a collection that has 53 items. So 53 pdf files.

I can do this one at a time and get the pdf files to a Finder on my macOS.

Is there a way do export all 53 in a click or something?

I want to then upload just the pdf files to NotebookLM for creating a podcast.

Thank you for everything!

I read that ZotFile extension might help. But it appears that the current version of ZotFile is not compatible with Z7.

I am new to plugins. What are top ones for Z7?

"top plugins"? That's a strange question, isn't it? Many people use Zenodo without any plugins. In general, one would ask what do you need to do? Does Zotero do it out of the box or not? After these questions, you can check if one or more plugins will match your need...

As for replacing Zotfile, you could try one of the following:

But specifically, you can just do this with File → "Export PDFs…" in Zotero 7.

Thank YOU dstillman! I did everyone manually today!!

I wrote a script specifically because I wanted to upload whole collections to NotebookLM.

Currently NotebookLM does not have a public API, so the script asks for a collection name from your library and will copy all the relevant PDFs to a destination location. Then you can simply drag and drop all of the PDFs into NotebookLM in one go.

Happy reading,
