sharing reports over email accessing/printing them from other computers

adindavanh

Hello,

I've made reports of sub-bibliographies relevant to specific questions and parts of my research, and want to (a) share these reports with me supervisors and colleagues over email, and (b) access them from another computer from where I can print them.

I have not been able to do either of the two so far.IS IT POSSIBLE, AND IF YES CAN ANYBODY HELP ME OUT AND EXPLAIN HOW TO DO IT?

When I try to send the link to a report over email, for instance to my own webmail (which would presumably allow me to open it on another computer and print it from there), and I try to open the link, I get a message saying "error: no associated application could be found".

I would be grateful to receive some advice.

best wishes,
Adinda

You get an error since the link is related to your own zotero database (e.g.: zotero://report/items/0_UC536Q9I/html/report.html )

However you can save the report and send the html file via e-mail. Read these (slightly outdated) instructions to save your report. [keyboard shortcut to "save page as" is CTRL+S (windows, linux), Cmd+S (mac)]

(please don't use all caps. You can use _underlining_ or html tags in html mode - <i>for italics</i>)

Reports are just html. In Zotero for Firefox you can just save the page through firefox and send it as an attachment file.
In Zotero Standalone that's not currently possible, but forthcoming.
Since reports are created locally they don't have a link that you can share - the link you see is just a local identifier.

edit: yeah, what Gracile says.

Printing the report to PDF may be a more elegant solution for sharing via email. Google "PDF printer" to find one.
