Upgrade Storageextracting annotations w/zotfile works BUT the link does not connect me to the location on pdf
hello there, so after I have highlighted on Preview (in mac) and I extract annotations, when I click on the icon in the extracted annotation that says "open link" to take me back to the quote, it merely opens the pdf but does not send me directly to the actual quote. I've tried this with several pdfs and all with the same result. I am using zotero 5 ... thank you for your help.
To fix it, go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Accessibility, make sure the lock in the bottom-left is unlocked, and then check the checkbox for System Events. It should work again after that.
Mojave latest update. Latest version of Zotero and Zotfile. Zotero and System Events are checked in Acessibility, but when I click a link (extracted table of contents, anotations) it only opens the pdf, not the right quoted page.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.
Any comment wil be appreciated!
Thanks in avance.
I´ve created this report ID 166206100, but there´s no error message and the "report errors" window tells me that no errors have been found.

My main issue is the same described in the first post: "when I click on the icon in the extracted annotation that says "open link" to take me back to the quote, it merely opens the pdf but does not send me directly to the actual quote. I've tried this with several pdfs and all with the same result."
It happens with any link, in extracted table of contents from a pdf or annotations. The link seems to be ok and include the right page (i.e. zotero://open-pdf/0_P5H8KLZV/198), but it only opens the pdf first page, and not the right page in the link.
The first time I tried this it asked me to allow "System Events" to control my machine. I clicked YES and in System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Accessibility I checked the permisions for Zotero and System Events to control my computer. But I can make a link to open the page that is supposed to open.
Thank you!

Yes, this is a spanish system, but the shortcut for "Go to page" is the same, cmd-option-G...
Nonetheless, thanks to your appeciation, I´ve noticed that there is a problem in my system. When I´m in Preview and I press the "Go to page" shortcut, it doesn´t work right. I checked with the keyboard viewer, and seems like my system doesn´t recognize the three keys shortcut the way it should:
- If I press cmd-option-g, the g is not recognized in the keyboard viewer.
- If I press g-cmd-option, the g is recognized and the shorcut works just fine.
- If I press fn-cmd-option-g, the g is recognized, and the shorcut works.
Besides, if I start the system in Safe Mode, there is no error, the g is recognized, the shortcut works just fine and the links in Zotero are working too. So, I think it has to be some trouble with something installed in my system...
I just tried almost averything that ocurred to me: reseting all preferences in the keyboard menu, checking that there are no conflict between system shorcuts, trashing keyboard and trackpad preferences, changing the language for the system and the keyboard to English, cleaning the Pram, using Onyx to maintenance an cleaning... But still no luck.
Bright side is that I managed to make the links in Zotero to work, just holding the Fn key before clicking. That way Preview recognizes the "Go to page" shortcut and takes me to the right page.
I think I´ll try to figure out what is going wrong, but for now I have a way to make it work.
Thanks a lot dstillman for your comments and interest.
