    You can generate reports by right clicking on one or more selected items in the main library pane of the Zotero Desktop, then selecting Generate Report from Item. That Report includes any Notes under the item(s).

    To create a note with just a *subset* of the annotations (eg selected via tag) in a single PDF in the Zotero reader, you first create a Note in the right pane of the reader (Notes icon, then + button, then Add Item Note). Then select *all* the desired annotations you want (eg select the top one, then shift-select the bottom one to select all of them). Then right click Add to Note. That Note will then appear in a Report you create as above.
