opening PDFs from Zotero

worcblue · March 20, 2022

I am running 6.0. Something seems to have changed recently because when I open PDFs from within Zotero, they are opened in a new Zotero tab rather than Acrobat (my preference and my default for PDFs).

Can I fix this with a change to settings somewhere?

yup, you can set the PDF reader from the General pane as the preferences

I have the same issue. Could you please explain a little bit more detail of how We should do??

Open the General pane of the Zotero preferences and change the "Open PDFs using" setting to whatever you want.

I would recommend reading through the Zotero 6 announcement first so you understand what's new.

Thanks, @randallr and @dstillman and thanks also for the reference to the announcement.
