Separating PDF attachment from its annotations (Zotero 6)

Is there a way to retrieve the unannotated pdf from an attachment (that has Zotero annotations)?

The new method of keeping annotations separate from the pdf should make this really easy but I don't see how to do it.

"Export pdf" cleverly merges the annotations into the resulting pdf so an external reader can work with them

Some use cases for when I want this:

1) i am making my own notes and a teammate wants a copy of the paper (without my notes). Here if i could "Export" and have the "format" be "pdf without attachments" that would work.

2) I have a paper that is used in several somewhat unrelated projects - so the notes from other projects clutter up the item. Here if i could put the item in more than one collection and have the annotations be different in each collection that would work

Have I missed a command somewhere?
  • Right-click on item/attachment → Show File gets you the original file.
  • You can also drag the attachment from the items list to a filesystem folder (or, in some cases, an email) to copy it.
  • (Documented here.)
