Error processing this file on ODF scan

Hubtone
Hello,

I'm getting the message 'there was an error processing this file' when I do an ODF scan.

I am using an ODT file. The RTF scan works fine.

Any suggestions?

    Note you can't use the same markers in ODF scan and RTF scan. How do the citation markers use in the document?

    That's probably the problem then. Here are some examples of my markers:

    {Cunningham et al. 2017; Adler and Rehkopf 2008}
    { |-Baumgartner and Jones 1993|p. 241}

    Yeah, those are RTF Scan markers. ODF Scan markers look like this { | Smith, (2012) | | |zu:2433:WQVBH98K}

    The most critical part is the last one, which is how the marker is linked with your library item.

    See http://zotero-odf-scan.github.io/zotero-odf-scan/ for additional details

    Thank you so much!

    I had read that github page before but missed the fact that the RTF and ODF scans had different citation markers-I think because the page is titled RTF/ODF scan.

    Is there any way to do a scan that adds the "zu:" numbers? My current workflow involves typing citations from memory rather than inserting them using a plugin or dragging them from Zotero.

    If not, I suppose I could just drag the citations in after I finish my paper.
