zotfile annotations extraction
hi,
as i understand zotfile should be able to extract not only highlighted passages but also text added by the reader by means of [text fields] and/or [memos].
but whichever way i choose to add text with personal comment, in the annotations fgiel i find only the highlighted passages.
my setup is mac with osx 10.4.5, zotero 5.0.66 and zotfile 5.0.10
thank you for your help

tank you for the reply, comment bubbles (i called them [memos]) are not extracted.
any idea? any idea about how to test the situation?

i use the Preview app which is the system viewer/editor for PDF in OSX.
i tried to change it and use Skim, by changing extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.openPdfMac_skim
from false to true, closed zotero, restarted it, but when i opened a PDF from Zotero always Previews popped up

(Don’t use that setting—that’s not what it does, and Skim annotations aren’t standard and won’t work easily with Zotfile.)
the bubble comment inserted with Acrobat reader is extracted.
but what's strange is that 'now' i am able to write annotations with Preview and to extract them. i don't know nor understand what was 'before', but 'now' things are going again as i remembered - or should i suspect that extracting the annotation made with Acrobat had a sort of 'resetting effect'?

I tried editing the the extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.formatAnnotationUnderline value but I can't seem to figure out the correct tag to return the user's part of the comment. %(content) gives the underlined text, which I assume is a function of the pdf.js, which is a little over my head to figure out since I work in other languages.
So is there a tag for the user's text entry portion of the underlined text comment?
Thanks,
Josh
