Upgrade Storagefolder with all pdf used in references
I need to create a folder with all the literature I used in my thesis as pdfs and copy it in a cd.
In the Zotero storage folder all pdfs are stored in separate folders
1) is there a possibility to have them all in one folder?
2) and can I create separate folders for the literature I actually used as a reference in my thesis (word-add in) and the ones I saved in Zotero but did not use as references?
I would be very greatful for help!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
After that, to get all those PDFs into a filesystem folder, you have a couple options:
1) Export that collection to Zotero RDF with files, do a search in your OS for all PDFs within the export folder, and then copy those PDFs to a new folder.
2) Select all PDFs within the collection in Zotero — either manually or by using a search — and drag those to a filesystem folder. For a search, you can just search for "PDF" in the quick search bar in All Fields & Tags mode, click an item and press Select All (Ctrl-A/Cmd-A), and then make any manual adjustments to the selection with Ctrl or Cmd so that only the child PDFs are selected.
I already have all the pdfs.
So there is no option to have Zotero create a subfolder with just the references I used in my word document? I have more than two hundred references saved in my Zotero project but in the end only used around 120 of them. is there a way to not have to select the used ones manually?
