Any progress with this, please?

Hi — there's a free online PDF OCR site here (up to 100MB) — https://www.ocr2edit.com/create-searchable-pdf
-
I normally use Foxit Reader. CTRL-A to select all is pretty well instantaneous; CTRL-C to copy it all takes 12 seconds ('Late antique and early Medieval Hispania: landscapes without strategy?'; 99,000 words) which is entirely acceptable. This is a…
-
Thank you! This is an amazingly useful add-on. I will use it for translating archaeological reports. Some of my translators are not available, including Microsoft, and DeepL, which I prefer. They are marked with asterisks. Is there any way to get th…

It's not unusual for me (a Windows user) to have to shut down an instance of Zotero in Task Manager before I can open another. Don't ask me the circumstances: I just do it.
-
I agree with the View comments, except that i would suggest that the toggle should be 'Full page width' and 'Full page height' (I prefer viewing the second way where possible).
-
Just realised we’re talking about different things. My apologies.
-
I don’t have Zotero handy - I use the desktop version - but surely that is available? I like to use it sometimes too, eg. to point out an author’s mistake rather than a point of interest.

Thanks guys.

I have now simply copied the Zotero folder elsewhere as a backup — simple but effective. Choosing a different drive, with the shortest path possible, made no difference. I read that the developers recognise that Export-Import can be problematical a…

And again this morning: after shutting down the machine overnight, then doing a registry check, failed on 2459 items like last time (but failed on 2793 items before).
-
Thanks paanvaand - I've only just seen this. Now I've got it working the other way, that works, but good to know.
-
Tried exporting to the main disc instead of a USB backup - failed on 2459 items. Debug submitted, No. D1087545208

OK, it's 12 minutes now and there's been no message, so I assume all is well.
-
I am now running Check Database Integrity
-
Thanks. It's no big deal but of course it's nice to know it's not me!
-
I know it's only a few pixels but there's a gap to the left and between the Zotero window and the taskbar.
-
Perhaps I should expand: when I resize the Zotero window, Windows 10 remembers the top and right side positions, but not the left and bottom. I can resize it to the left side and bottom, but Zotero won't reopen to those positions - it always leaves …

dstillman - you are consistently helpful, often in spite of inadequate information in the question/complaint. Thanks, it's much appreciated! David
-
Changing the Search mode or pressing Escape doesn't seem to do anything - the progress icon continues to turn and if I select a different mode there's no indication that Zotero is actually searching differently. In some case I've ended up closing Z…
-
Incidentally, I think you've said before that Zotero is designed to (re)name files for me. But I like to have filenames that mean something, not just dbrear1999.pdf.

My library started with Academia (https://www.academia.edu/) and I still get a lot of PDFs that way. But I search for articles with Google and download them to Temp as well. If I click on the Zotero Connector button it saves a snapshot of the Acade…
-
Thank you - maybe I don't use Zotero as it's intended to be used. I download my PDFs to a Temp folder where I process them - check if I've already got them, change bland names to meaningful ones, etc - and then drop them into Zotero. Then I go thr…
-
I should add that the Tag button now remains visible, instead of disappearing upwards as the list lengthens, which is welcome.

Hi Isabelle, I have five special tags which I use to identify articles in special ways. They all begin _ so they stay at the top of the tag list, they are all in BLOCK CAPS so they stand out, they each have a different colour. So I have __TAGGED w…
-
Apparently it does! Thank you very much - once I work out how to do it this will be very useful.
-
Incidentally, if I have this right - you guys rock.
