Please help me getting started

Hi everyone I'm new here and a new researcher on mass communications.

I have 2 important questions:

I just installed Zotero and let's just say I'm reading a paper previously imported into Zotero. Since it's a pdf, im reading it on Acrobat. How can I select a cite or quote and import that cite into my Zotero desktop?

And what can I use in my iPad to read my pdfs (and work on them) and then have those changes made in the same files but in my computer? What would be the best combination of programs to sync the same papers between devices?

Thanks a ton!
  • You can use ZotFile (www.zotfile.com) to extract highlighted text in PDFs to notes.

    You can either use ZotFile's "Send to Tablet" function together with a sync service like Dropbox to read on the ipad (and use any PDF reader with standard annotations there).

    Or you could use the papership iPhone app. That uses Zotero's own file sync, so you have access to any Zotero item. I think they charge $10 for annotation ability.
