Annotating PDFs when Zotero cloud-based
Assume that I am working with Zotero through a web browser with all my library resources (records and PDF documents) held remotely in the Zotero cloud and I want to:
- navigate to the record I want
- select the link to the PDF
- have it open on my PC in a PDF app with basic annotation tools
- annotate the PDF
- automatically save back to the Zotero cloud
This seems like a simple, obvious workflow but I don't think I can do this at the moment - am I right? If it is possible, I'd appreciate a pointer to the right setup.
Thanks,
Richard

Zotero simply isn't designed to be used (or really usable) as a cloud only version at this time.
FWIW, both the ZotPad and the Papership app make something along these line possible on Apple mobile devices.
