Internal PDF Editor?

eicoseicos
Hi, I wanted to bring up the subject of a possible additions that would make reading papers a lot easier.
I tried Polar for a few weeks but didn't like overall. But I really liked its pdf.js-based PDF viewer/editor.
Couldn't something like that be implemented on Zotero? Maybe at plugin level? I really think it would be a great addition. I'm currently using Okular, but I think allowing the user to save highlights and annotations into an external file (external to the PDF, I mean) is a must have for a really good research oriented PDF editor (Okular dropped this great asset a few years ago).

    In my experience, saving annotations external to the actual PDF file is a big pain—it makes it difficult to send the annotated PDF for example.

    If you are wants to extract annotations for searching in Zotero, check out the Zotfile plugin.

    Second that - Zotfile is what you are looking for. Zotfile allows you to use most external PDF editors.
