Exporting PDFs from a zotero library

Social Researcher NZ
Hi - I need to collate all the pdfs attached to a Group Library in my overall zotero libary. Is there any way I can export only the pdfs to one folder?

Thanks

    If I'm understanding your question, you may be able to create a saved search for [Attachment File Type] [is] [PDF], do a Select All in the results (which will highlight only the matching PDFs, and then drag those to a folder in your filesystem to export. Unfortunately that may depend on your OS — I think multi-file drag is currently broken on Windows and maybe Linux, so it may only work on Macs.

    As an alternative, you could probably export those items to Zotero RDF with files and then create a saved search in your OS for all PDFs within the target folder, which would give you a flat list of the exported PDFs that you could move elsewhere.

    A third alternative would be to install Zotfile (www.zotfile.com), select all items in the group and use the "send to tablet" function.
