In general, annotations have to be saved in the standard pdf format (and Adobe, of course, does). Otherwise nothing can be extracted... joatmon, your pdf software does not seem to use the pdf standard for annotations or it saves the annotations in …

quickfold11, when you use the 'Attach new file' function, the old file from the source dir should be removed. If not, try to provide some debug information. But maybe you mean something different? schuessi, I wasn't able to reproduce your problem. …
-
quickfold11, first you should install the most recent version from here. You are still using a 2.0 beta, which had some bugs. Second, the menu is there. It's 'Manage Attachments'. When you install 2.0 you also see the 'Attach new file' again.

Thierry.C, you are using windows, right? Can you send me the subfolder setting you are using? The default is '/%w/%y' but that only works for mac/unix. I think I already fixed the problem with subfolders and missing fields but I just want to make su…

Heckscher, I assume that you set the 'Location of Files' in the 'General Settings' tab to the location on your tablet. Is that correct? You have to set the tablet location 'Location of Files on Tablet' under the 'Tablet Settings' tab, NOT the other …

Thierry.C, it's seems to be the file but I don't know what the problem is either. Maybe the file is locked? I created a zotero group 'zotfile'. When you apply for membership, I will add you so that you can upload the file. I wasn't able to make the …

There is a clear advantage for using the PDF standard for any annotations: The files with annotations can be opened and read by all applications that support the standard, which includes apps on different platforms and tablet apps. Skim, for example…
-
erazlogo, I assume that happens because zotero indexes your pdf files, is that correct? When I was indexing my files, zotero always froze and the linking of tablet attachments trickers the indexing. You can either disable indexing or switch to backg…

looplog, maybe you should try a different computer but the fact that an error message keeps popping up indicates that something is going wrong. You keep getting the "zitem.getType" error right (even after changing the hidden option)? Anything reprod…

Guppy, no there is no page limit or anything like that. Maybe it's some unsupported pdf standard but usually you should get an error message in that case. First, you should check the error console. Then you can send me the pdf if you want or try to …

SamR, yes, you found the correct menu entries. Zotfile works through 'Attach new File' and "Manage Attachments". Note that you first have to set the source folder when you are using Zotero Standalone. In general, I won't invest much more time in t…

Star7, just go to 'zotfile preference'->'adv. settings' and press the button to add the search again...

afabl, Zotero does not allow any linked attachments for group library items simply because the link is only valid on your computer (you also can not create the manually). So zotfile also can not add a linked attachments to a group library item - it'…

For Standalone users, Zotero 3.0.1 currently does not update zotfile automatically. 3.0.2 will solve this problem but for the time being, I recommend that Standalone users update to zotfile 2.0 manually.

ohthere, both the bug and the feature request are added to the list... thanks for the report.

Why don't you just use 'custom location' under general settings to put all pdfs into your tablet folder so that you don't even have to deal with sending files to the tablet etc.? Update is pretty much what 'send' does when the attachment already is…
-
Mogger: I will think about how these ideas fit into zotfile. The scan reader function will get an update and I am thinking about easy ways to access modified tablet attachments. That might include some kind of update function but I am not really sur…

Hi! @hcsiller: yes, just select all the items and click 'extract annotations'. Maybe first test with ~10 pdfs. Zotfile extracts the annotations for all pdf attachments of selected items. There might still be problems with some pdfs but zotfile shoul…

First, I guess you all saw that I submitted zotfile 2 to Firefox: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5301/6/zotfile-zotero-plugin-to-rename-move-and-attach-pdfs-send-them-to-ipad-extract-pdf-annotations/#Comment_114704 I would like to close this…

To follow up on adamsmith's and Dan's comments: zotfile now extracts pdf annotations on all platforms and I like the idea of adding a link to open the pdf at the respective passage. But right now, I am not even able to open links from zotero notes. …

Zotfile 2 is finally under review at mozilla. The final version is already available here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zotfile/versions/ and the website provides some new information but 2.0 (e.g. hidden options): http://www.col…

Here is the (hopefully) last beta 9: http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile_2b.xpi It includes some general fixes and minor improvements for the extraction of pdf annotations. I will start the mozilla review process soon if nothing comes up.

Hi, I just wanted to point at the current beta for zotfile 2, which integrates the zotfile reader stuff into zotfile and now supports the extraction of pdf annotations on all platforms. That means you can easily read pdf with your preferred app (e.g…

I have put another version online (beta 8). It fixes the doubling issue, and a number of other bugs. http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile_2b.xpi New Features in zotfile 2 - easily send PDF attachments to your iPad or Android tablet - extrac…

@igg: You first have to send the files again before anything changes. mode=2 is the 'foreground' mode. You can look at the description in the first post on http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/18737/1/zotfile-reader-zotero-plugin-to-work-with-table…

Hi! @mark yes, you are right. Here is now a permanent link to the current beta, which I will also put on the (outdated) zotfile page: http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile_2b.xpi I will put 2.0 on the mozilla addon listing when it's out of beta.…

@igg: sorry, but I still can't do anything with that. I need something reproducible. What are your zotfile options? e.g. for 'location of files'? Does the 'Preview of Current Renaming Rules' feature in the zotfile preference pane work? Can you also…
