Problem with Zotero's beta pdf reader and Zotfile's annotations export
Hi there
Recently I enrolled on Zotero's beta version to test the built in PDF reader. It seems quite nice and stable but I'm having an hard time exporting annotations using Zotfile. I've tried going back to a a 3rd party pdf reader and in that case I can export annotations.
So do I need to change any option or this is not compatible?
Thanks

- You can create a Zotero note from annotations in the right-hand Notes pane of the PDF reader or from the context menu in the items list.
- You can drag individual annotations to notes in the Notes pane or a standalone note window.
- You can copy notes into external editors.
- You can use the new Add Note button in the word processor plugins to insert notes with annotations and active citations into documents and continue using the plugin to generate a bibliography.
Additional export options for notes are coming soon.
Second, Zotero updated overnight, but I do not remember seeing the "Add Notes from Annotations" option in the context menu. I have tried it and it works beautifully!
1. Read and mark up in Zotero reader
2. Once finished save the PDF file (file>save as) to desktop or somewhere
3. Delete the PDF in Zotero
4. Reimport the PDF from desktop into Zotero.
5. Extra annotations.
