Library export to RDF doesn't include PDFs

Hi,

I have the same problem as many others who write here - I cannot manage to export my library including the pdf files. Exporting to RDF (while ticking all possible boxes) creates numbered subdirectories of the "files" directory that are all empty. Waiting for an hour, as often suggested here, did not lead to any content or additional folders being added.

On a side note and just in case it's relevant - syncing to the cloud doesn't include the pdf attachments either but only the zotero entries (it's not a storage problem, I still have 100MB free space left), so I cannot move my library via syncing either.

But I would prefer exporting via RDF anyway, so please help with the RDF export issue, if you can?

Thank you so much in advance!

    First, it sounds like you're misunderstanding what Zotero RDF is for. It's absolutely not for moving your library between your own computers. For that, see Transferring a Library.

    We can debug the other issues — you'd want to see Files Not Syncing for the first and need to provide a Debug ID for the second — but first make sure you understand how to transfer a library properly, if that's what you're trying to do.
  • Yes, thats what I was trying to do. Thank you and sorry for wasting your time...
