This explains that annotation extraction is no longer part of Zotfile, as it became part of Zotero itself some time ago (when v6 was released) ... https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/zotfile_extract_annotations Linked from that page is further explan…

By default, Zotero stores PDF attachments locally under the Zotero\storage\ folder hierarchy (and can sync them across devices, up to your file storage limit). The alternative to that is to have your PDFs stored as linked files (eg using the Zotfile…

1. OCR should have no effect on metadata. 2. What do you mean by PDFs with "No matching references" ? If you mean no parent item, you add that with right-click Create Parent Item: https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#child_versus_standalo…

Are you inserting them in the usual way ... ? https://www.zotero.org/support/google_docs

Assuming that you really do mean a linked PDF atttachment (with the chain link icon), then Zotero does not delete the actual file when you delete a linked attachment - it only deletes the link. https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_f…

You can use regex in Advanced search for attachment (PDF) content. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/414783/

Zotero supports similar curly-bracket unformatted citations as Endnote (ie for citing without needing the word processor plugin). It's a fast way to write/cite. Albeit Zotero's unformatted citations are a little more ambiguous than Endnote's because…

Accessing the data on the cited references in a paper has traditionally been difficult, because journal publishers did not often provide the reference lists when uploading basic paper metadata to the online databases that are used for retrieving pap…

The theory may be that because the option to change the Data Directory Location is relatively deep in the Preferences under Advanced\File and Folders that only advanced users will find it/use it. And will be able to extricate themselves via good bac…

You should report that to the developer: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/zotpress/

Within a single paper, the tags you've added to its annotations appear in the tag bar at the bottom of the (expanded) left annotations pane.

If you've got PDFs in your Bin, you could first try (right click) emptying it. And then do a file sync again. Also, the figure showing under Current Usage in your storage settings may not respond instantaneously to any changes. https://www.zotero.or…

Firstly, for certainty, which settings did you change ? I am not clear why Zotero would still be showing a file sync quota error when you've supposedly turned file syncing OFF. But maybe Zotero does continue to show that error regardless ? Becaus…

What you described is a "linked-file" setup (which has strengths and limitations - see link below). https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files To add PDFs from an existing folder as linked files, you can drag and drop them into Zo…

Those of us who use the Zotfile plugin are used to its default behaviour of renaming the downloaded PDF (according to your preferred renaming rules) and *also* giving the 'attachment title' that you see in the middle pane the same name as the file. …

@chrisg550 as you say a common way to build up your reference library is to look at the references cited in a paper you are reading, and add the important ones to your library. Unfortunately as I alluded to, journal publishers have traditionally mad…

The bibliography referred to the documentation is one that you want to create yourself, from a subset of your library's items (and then place it in a word processor document you are writing). It is not the reference list/bibliography from a single p…

You can't see/read/annotate PDFs across devices if you turn off file syncing (and are not using any advanced option). The "Data" that is synced for free when data sync is ON is only what you see for each item in the right pane: title, author, etc et…

Look under Edit\Preferences\Sync\Settings. (Meta) data syncing and (attachment) file syncing are different. The first is always free. The second - file syncing - is subject to your online quota, with only 300mb being free. So you can always sync dat…

Those right click options you're seeing are in the zotero PDF reader. You need to be in the main library view to see all your items in the middle pane, and select which ones you want to add to a quick bibliography (ie without using the word processo…

Have you saved the ASD file as a regular Word file ?

As to how such a search feature might look to the user, it could be similar to the search field for tags (which does find text embedded within tags); except at the top of the collections pane. It could either limit the displayed list to collections …

It would probably help if people outlined specific examples where the limited existing facility is not adequate to find the collections they want: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/314195/#Comment_314195

I see that v0.4.4 of that plugin is the version that should be used for Zotero 6. Later versions are for Zotero 7 (currently still in beta).
