Zotero Connector and linked pdf files
Hi,
I noticed that Zotero Connector import pdf files of article in zotero storage. I did not found an option for Zotero Connector to create linked file instead of storing them in zotero storage folder. I had problems related to this. I have now 995 items (directories) in zotero storage, I'd like to revert this and only have linked files by transfering them to the linked and doing this manually does not seem a very attractive strategy. I don't even know how I would do it. I have too many articles, zotero storage would to expensive).
1) Is there a way to configure zotero and zotero connector in order to get article as linked file?
2) Is there a automatic way to transfer all article in zotero storage directory as a linked file? I use the Linked Attachment Base Directory.

The LABD only affects where Zotero *looks* for attachments that are already linked files. It allows linked files to be opened by Zotero even if they have a different parent directory on different computers where you have Zotero desktop installed. If you only work on one computer, or your linked files have the same path on each computer, you don't need a LABD setting (however once you have set a LABD on one computer it should be set on all computers, even if the linked file paths are the same).
