Any way to have annotations automatically saved in PDF file?
Before version 6 I used to annotate in my favoured PDF reader, then have Zotfile pull the annotations into a Zotero note.
I understand that I can still do this in Zotero 6 if I ignore the built-in PDF reader. But I do want to embrace this advance, and I like the ability to work on a Note alongside the PDF I'm reading.
But having annotations only saved in the database, and not in the PDF, makes me nervous. One of the reasons I liked Zotero over competitors was knowing that all the work I'd put in wasn't tied up in a proprietary format (although yes, it being open source does mitigate this somewhat).
I see there's an "Export PDF" option. Is there any way to have a PDF exported - i.e. the PDF file updated with new or changed annotations - automatically?
If not, please can this be considered as a RFE?
Thank you.

There's absolutely no reason to be nervous here.
can we do the Export of zotero annotations into the pdf files
as a batch of multiple or all pdfs rather than one file at a time?
I feel like this problem has to be solved as well. Thank you for the great work!
