plugin for converting website snapshot to pdf

zotsnoop · July 30, 2018

Hallo
the main reason using zotero is annotating text.
As I read in the forum annotating websites (html) isn't supported since zotero 4.
Is there a zotero-plugin which converts the in zotero saved website-snapshot to pdf?
Then zotfile could do the rest.
(I know, of course I can convert the webpage externally to pdf, but thats cumbersome)

Thanks

My workflow by now, using chrome (I don't like Firefox anymore, too slow):

* convert webpage to pdf with chrome addon 'Print friendly & pdf'
(better than for instance 'save to pdf'; it removes ads)
* drag&drop the downloaded pdf from the chrome-download-bar into zotero
* zotero generates the metatag-item
* continue with zotfile

I'd recommend looking into hypothes.is for a modern solution to annotating web pages.
