About the SEARCH function

A little problem about the search function.
We know zotero could search everything even the attached PDF content, but what about those comments we marked in those PDF files. Because most of time, after we read a long paragraph, we would like to paste a brief and clear commentsin the PDF documents, which would be quite helpful for us to get the main meanings of those documents in the future.

However, even my PDF X-change reader, which is a quite nice PDF reader, could not search the comments in the PDF files, no need to say using zotero to search the PDF comments.

So, just wondering whether there is a way to search those PDF comments. Or how to solve these kind of problems.
  • Use Zotfile, which can extract comments/annotations from PDFs to Zotero notes and thus makes them searchable.
