How can I open PDF files with external PDF software by default in Zotero 6?
How can I open PDF files with external PDF software by default in Zotero 6?
Why? Because I want to make permanent annotations in the PDF file itself and be able to access it independently of Zotero 6.

zoey0314Since Zotero updated, I got the same problem. I was not able to find the annotations I made in PDFs before. Thanks for the question and answer!

dstillman@zoey0314: To be clear, the built-in PDF reader displays standard PDF annotations. You only wouldn't see them if you were using some external PDF reader that saves annotations in a separate file.
