[MacOS Beta] Zotero PDF Reader - Request - Ability to change text in highlights

Darren McDonald

I have a request to be able to change the text for highlights in Zotero PDF Reader. This is the text that appears in the left-hand side column after making a highlight.

I find this necessary for scenarios where there are mistakes in the highlighted text from inaccurate OCRing of a PDF. Or where hyphenating was used in the original PDF and I want the make a correction and delete hyphens.

I understand that corrections may be made when including the highlights in notes. However, this means having to continually making the changes in notes when drawing on the same highlight.

You can already do that by double-clicking the extracted text.

@martynas_b Thanks. Double-clicking did the job! :) I was clicking the extracted text once and nothing happened, so I thought this was no possible. It is great to know that the developers have even thought of this.

Zotero's PDF Reader is truly wonderful. I have been searching and searching for years for an app that does what Zotero's PDF Reader does. I am pleased that my search as finally come to an end. :)
