I have multiple references having the same PDF document as an attachment (duplicated) and I'd like to delete a duplicated reference while merging its annotations into the reference's PDF I want to keep.
The thing is that some are Zotero annotations and some have been made from another app, and I want to have all of them into a single PDF.
Workaround: 1. Export Zotero PDF reader annotated file using File → “Export PDF…” from the library view or “Save As…” from the PDF reader 2. Merge externally as suggested by @adamsmith (free approach with Foxit Reader → https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/79011/merge-pdf-annotation#231283) 3. Import the merged PDF into Zotero 4. Transform PDF annotations into Zotero annotations by File → “Import Annotations…” 5. Erase the previous PDF file link into Zotero
