Mendeley import only some annotations
Hi,
I'm importing a massive library from Mendeley (with folders & sub-folders) and noticed that some of the PDFs are missing their annotations (highlights, underlines). I'm not sure if there's a systemic way they're selecting papers with/without the annotations. Could you please help with debugging to import the remainder of these annotations?
Thanks,
J

What's the URL for the parent item of one of the attachments in question in your Zotero online library ("Web Library" at the top of this page), and what's some highlighted text that's missing?
But here's an example file of one that did: https://files.zotero.net/eyJleHBpcmV… [temporary URL truncated — D.S.]
In Mendeley it comes up with all the highlights. Also yes you're correct no underlines - this must've been from previous edits with adobe acrobat.
The debug logging says there's 862 lines logged with Zotero (MacOS app)
I'm also asking whether you see those annotations in the Mendeley online library, not in the Mendeley app. Zotero can only import directly from the online library, so it's what's in the Mendeley online library that matters.
You won't currently see Mendeley- or Zotero-created annotations in the Zotero web library, only in the desktop app. They'll be available in the web library soon.
I'm going to try a full import again - I noticed a lot of PDFs were missing from the import in the Zotero library along with annotations (I'm trying to figure out if this is a Mendeley or Zotero issue).
My Mendeley web library was syncing like 95% of my files but not all the annotations appeared. From Zotero (desktop), many files were missing the annotations even if they appeared on my Mendeley web library. I don't know the extent of it since I didn't check too many - enough that I was convinced this method of export wasn't working.
So I just exported my entire Mendeley web library as PDFs (export with annotations) and then added this to my Zotero desktop library manually.
