Edit Pdfs

twk · September 23, 2009

Hi,
As far as I know, Zotero is not able to edit PDF-files.
When I edit it in Acrobat or Foxit-Reader etc., I have to save it and add it again to the library.
Is there a way to edit directly in the library?
If not, is this a feasible feature request?

Thanks,
Tobi

if you open the pdf from within zotero (or using the show file button and then opening it from the explorer/finder) you don't have to add it again to the library. The file will stay in Zotero and your edits (I assume annotations?) show up the next time you open it. The only thing that you can't change that way is the filename.

Thank you - this 'trick' saves me a lot of work!
Zotero seems to be a revolution for my information and knowledge management!
