Zotero iOS pdf Reader Mode - let me annotate please!

various-pectin.0u · October 11, 2023

If I could use Zotero's reader mode on pdf's (and hopefully html/webpage snapshots etc too!) to annotate, all the format wars would be over. I could simply read any pdf like an epub, mark it up, and have the annotations go back onto the pdf. I am one tiny step away from cross-device heaven.

Oh, and let me open epubs in-app on iOS. Then I would pay any amount - I'd pay $50/mo for this.

We'd love to supporting annotating in reader mode, but unfortunately it's not technically possible at this time.

EPUB/snapshot support on iOS is planned.

Checked but I couldn't find an open feature request for epub support in zotero for iOS: https://github.com/zotero/zotero-ios/issues?q=is:issue+is:open+epub

Is there a different issue to keep track of for this feature request?

Major features are rarely tracked in github issues in Zotero (though there'd obviously be a pull request eventually). I don't think you'll miss this when it lands.
