Zotero retaining deleted pdf bookmarks
When I add a pdf attachment to a Zotero item, and highlight the pdf in the main panel, in the info panel I see the pdf's bookmarks.
The problem is that if I open the pdf, delete the bookmarks, and save it, Zotero still shows the bookmarks in the info panel for the pdf. It shows them even after I close and re-open Zotero. If I copy the attachment file elsewhere, delete the attachment in Zotero, and re-add the attachment (without the bookmarks), the bookmarks do not reappear.
Why/where does Zotero retain this bookmark data that is not in the actual file? Is there a way to delete the bookmarks without this workaround? Thanks.

As for the rest, ZotFIle doesn't really store bookmarks: it just extracts the bookmark structure to a Zotero note belonging to the PDF. It does so only once on importing the file, which is why deleting them in the PDF does nothing . You can of course just delete the contents of the note (e.g., ctrl+a and then delete) should you you want to.
