Annotate pdf within zotero
Dear friends,
I'm trying to use Zotfile in Windows 8.
As far as I know, there is a problem with Zotfile that the watch folders does not work well.
What I need to do is to have all the Zotero files inside a Dropbox folder, so I could annotate them and see them in Zotero.
Is there any way to do that?
Thank you,
Ilan.

To use Zotfile for your setup, you don't really even need to use the watch folder feature. In the Zotfile preferences pane, on the General Settings tab, under Location of Files, click "Custom Location" and choose the folder you want in Dropbox. You can set subfolder structure using the checkbox and the wildcard descriptions here. To move your files to this location, right-click on the item in Zotero and click "Manage Attachments", then "Rename Attachments".
The features of Zotfile generally work very well, so if you have any problems, please post them in the long Zotfile support thread. Please don't assume that the features are broken.
