Upgrade Storagepdfinfo / pdftotext file location not allowed by Windows Group Policy
Hi,
at work, the security settings (Windows Group Policy preferences) won't allow me to run pdfinfo-Win32.exe and pdftotext-Win32.exe from the Zotero data directory. Our IT department has ruled out that they will ever allow that. I've seen that you are planning to replace the binaries by PDF.js but that seems to be a medium to long term goal. In the meantime, would you consider adding a setting in Zotero's about:config to allow a different path for those executables?
Thank you.
