Zotero attempts to remove duplicate characters when they are identical. However, in this PDF the characters have slightly different positions, so this behavior cannot be corrected automatically.
-
@kplunk5 Try opening the PDF file in a different PDF viewer and copy the same text. If it's still garbled, then the issue is with the PDF file itself.
-
Try using the 64-bit version of Zotero.
-
Can you provide a Debug ID for it happening?
-
Annotations are inserted into Zotero notes in this format: {highlight}} {{citation}} {{comment}}. Note annotations only have a comment which by default appears at the end. But if you really want to change, you can do so by modifying the note annotat…
-
You can't disable it for text annotations only, but you can disable it everywhere from note-editor context menu or the annotation comment context menu (in Zotero 8 beta).

This is a bug. Thanks for not giving up and reporting it again. We now have a fix, and it will be available in one of the upcoming Zotero 8 beta updates.
-
Note that on macOS it's possible to select text and press Ctrl+Cmd+D while hovering over it to show the default lookup popup.
-
This means the text layer is incomplete, and the PDF needs to be re-OCRed.
-
This is planned.
-
The file is indeed corrupted. You can try resaving it with another PDF viewer to fix it.
-
Could you send the file to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread?
-
Which Zotero Desktop version is that?
-
Does the highlighting work properly if you open this PDF in another PDF viewer?
-
Those who experience this issue should also test Zotero 8 beta with all plugins disabled. Additionally, you should try the same PDF files on Firefox PDF reader (as Zotero is based on it).
-
Do you see the annotations when you open the PDF with an external viewer on Desktop (Right-click the item → Show File)? If not, make sure the file is actually synced to your Desktop.
-
Automatically assigning the closest standard Zotero reader color can cause unintended effects, such as assigning the wrong color or reducing the available highlight colors if you use a broader palette. However, we will consider not applying additio…
-
Can you make a screenshot of how it looks before and after restart?
-
Can you reproduce that with all plugins disabled?
-
Can you check whether this is still an issue in Zotero 8 beta?
-
We'll fix it—thanks.
-
There should be improvements in Zotero 8 beta regarding touchscreen issues. Let us know if you test it.
-
Currently, importing FreeText and Ink annotations made with other viewers isn’t supported. You can only reimport them if they were originally created in Zotero Reader and exported to a PDF. This is because Zotero Reader doesn’t support the full rang…
-
The font used for in-text citations in that PDF doesn't have proper character mapping, which results in garbled text. This is an issue with the PDF itself.
-
Open a standalone or child note and right-click in the text editor.
-
In Zotero 8 beta, the spell checker context menu options are now visible. The same menu also lets you add or remove languages. In Zotero 7.0.24, this can be done from the note item editor's context menu.
-
This issue may already be fixed in Zotero 8 beta. Let us know if you can still reproduce it in this version.
-
I can reproduce the issue in Zotero 7.0.24, but it works fine in the Zotero 8 beta.
-
You can just drag selected text or annotations into the desired note position.

Please send an example PDF file to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread.
