modify and save pdf in zotero library

enozkan
Is it possible to modify a pdf (say underline, takes notes on, etc.) and save it back in the zotero library? I can open a zotero pdf in Adobe Professional and make changes, but cannot save it back in the library (I can save it elsewhere as a new file). My problem is probably compounded by using a Mac Intel 10.5 which does not have a good plugin for pdfs for firefox (The plugin from google works good for viewing, but has no capability for modifying pdfs).

I don't think taking notes on a separate sheet can replace taking notes on the pdf, highlighting parts, etc. It would be great to be able to do both.

    Why can't you save it back in the library? The file is just stored in your zotero storage folder & you should be able to over write it....

    Sorry for the false alarm.

    For some reason I could not modify pdfs in my zotero library this morning. It is all good and well now. I am using 1.5a by the way.
