If you can anticipate which linked PDF files you want to use on your Android tablet, you could create a collection called "_Mobile Files"; and then in Zotero desktop, drag items/files you want to use that way into that collection (they will of cours…

You have a LABD set on at least one computer right ? Do you have it set on both ? And these are all parent items with PDF attachments right ? Not just PDFs without a parent item ?

When you try to open a linked PDF and Zotero can't find it with the information it has, the error message should tell you where it *thinks* the linked PDF should be. That's often the clue to what's not quite right with a linked file setup: either w…

You can just save the PDF to, or drag it to, your Zotfile 'Source Folder for Attaching New Files', and then right-click Attach New File (a Zotfile function, so it moves/renames the file). That's what I use for random PDFs (but you need to have an it…

Is the PDF's *move* to your Zotfile Custom Location folder as a linked file working automatically on downloads via the Zotero web connector, with just the renaming failing ? Zotfile renaming normally occurs automatically when PDFs are downloaded vi…

The Linked Attachment Base Directory tells Zotero where to *look* for LINKED attachment files (that is, those not in local Zotero storage under Zotero\storage) when you try to open them ... when their parent folder location is different on different…

They will be in the Unfiled 'collection' at the bottom of the collection list. So "never find them again" seems unlikely. ;) There are a number of ways that would find what you want ... If you select the tags tab for the top item under Unfiled, you…

Endnote and Zotero store citations within word processor files in different ways (Endnote has attempted to sue people who try to make them compatible). If it were Mendeley the process would be a little easier (there is a tool for that). If you alre…

The Zoplicate plugin flags a duplicate as it is being added to Zotero, giving you the option to keep just the original version, the new one, or both. https://chenglongma.com/zoplicate/

Unfortunately a few things seem to have broken in that transfer from twitter.com to x.com. But it was just a user posting instructions on twitter/x for using ChatGPT in that way. It's not actually a utility for that specific purpose. Someone submit…

As suggested by @kimarq , here's an example of the steps in doing that with ChatGPT ... https://x.com/MushtaqBilalPhD/status/1753785908266963066 For doing that on a more regular basis from the reference lists of PDFs you *already* have in Zotero, y…

Of the possible reasons stated in that latest error message (presumably from Zotfile), you seem to have excluded most*. The 'avoided filetype' refers to the Zotfile Advanced Preference: 'Only work with the following file types'. If you have that set…

The best method to get both accurate metadata and the PDF is to use the Zotero Web Connector on the article's web page (without clicking to open/download the PDF yourself). If any of the metadata shown in the resulting parent item's fields is incomp…

Are the annotations you're seeing in Zotero visible when you open the PDF in an external PDF viewer ? If so, those annotations are part of the PDF file; Zotero annotations are not (unless you explicitly export them to a PDF). It is obviously possibl…

Ah sorry, I didn't see that ... my Chinese is a little lacking. ;)

@dstillman but doesn't Zotero always show a popup message saying it can't locate a linked attachment file (on onedrive in this case) when you try to open it ? And that message usually shows the path where Zotero thinks the file should be ?

When Zotero cannot open the linked PDF attachment on your laptop, does the error message show the location where it is looking for the PDF ? Is the PDF actually at that exact location ? Are PDFs at exactly the same path on both computers ? (if not, …

You can check the location that Zotero has stored for each (linked) PDF with Zutilo. Under the right-click menu it will show you that with its Show Attachment Path(s). Your linked PDFs' locations on both computers will likely have the 'attachments:'…

OK, I see now by 'Zotero web plugin' you meant the Zotero Web Connector's ability to scrape an author and date from web pages. I don't know what information Zotero has access to for scraping a web page's creator and date, nor therefore why those Zo…

The simplest multi-computer linked PDF setup is for each linked PDF to be present at the exact same path on all computers. The location of each PDF is saved *individually* in the Zotero database. No Linked Attachment Base Directory setting to tell Z…

OK it sounds like you want to call Zotero from Filemaker Pro, using a coding interface that both support. That sounds like a question for the Zotero Dev (programming) group - see link below. That's where programming issues are discussed. https://gr…
