How to move my citavi5 database including the pdfs (windows) to zotero on a mac?

AndriChristen · December 6, 2017

At my new job I am working with a Mac and we currently have zotero. On my previous job I worked with citavi 5.5.0.1 on a windows PC.
Now I would like to move my database including all my files (pdfs, jpgs, etc.) to my Mac an into zotero. I could not find an instruction here (https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library#importing_from_other_tools) and also nothing in this forum.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks a lot!

Hey folks, I did exactly what's described there https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/import-from-citavi
to import my Citavi library (from Citavi 4 on a Mac), but am then told that Zotero (latest version on a Mac) cannot import the file format. Do you know what might be the problem?
Many thanks!
Sina
