Is there a way for Zotero to extract a chapter from a book as a separate PDF?
As the title suggests. Sometimes I have a PDF of an edited book and find a particular chapter interesting. I would like to extract and quote only that chapter (Book Section).
My workaround so far was to find the PDF of a book, then open it in Adobe Acrobat, extract pages I want, fix page numbers, and save that PDF chapter. Then, in Zotero, I would right-click on the book, go "Create Book Section from a Book", put PDF of a chapter in it, and then manually add the author, page range, etc. And finally, I would manually add the annotations from the PDF book to PDF of a chapter.
Is there an easier way?
If not, then I think this function would be very useful in Zotero. Something like selecting pages from the thumbnails view, and right-click extracting them as a chapter with all annotatons existing on those pages.
