PDF Attachments

2 questions:

1. Where does Zotero store them?
2. If stored on my hard drive, and I delete them, will Zotero be able to find and/or use them?

Thanks

2. I don't understand the question.

I download a pdf into a temporary folder, then open it in my browser and create a record in the library, with the pdf as either the main entry or an attachment. The link shows the file in the folder on my hard drive where I stored it. If I delete the pdf from that folder, or the folder itself, will Zotero be able or unable to open it in my browser? Does that help?

yeah, you can safely delete the temporary folder and pdf - Zotero stores a copy of the pdf in its data directory.
