  • I came to this same conclusion as KOReader PDF reflow is quite good and it works on so many devices (it even works on Linux, MacOS and Windows via WSL). I've spent some time learning about how PDF annotations could be two-way synced between apps, wr…

  • I wrote an article about this very topic here: https://ryanwwest.com/pkm-annotation/. It seems unlikely that Zotero will support EPUB (or HTML, which I think is at least as important) viewing nor annotations any time soon, so I'm looking for other…
  • (in case anyone's curious, my use case is Windows 11 Zotero + Boox Max Lumi 13.3 inch ereader tablet using the SpaceDesk second-wireless-monitor Android app and displaying the Zotero PDF reader maximized on the tablet monitor. It works really well a…
  • The current single-page mode (using j/k to switch between pages or the up/down page buttons) works pretty well for fitting the entire page. However, if you want to zoom in on a page past the empty margins, it often requires panning to the center of …
  • After writing the above, I decided to check out the other locales and realized that 'English (Canada)' uses the YYYY-MM-DD format by default. Still AM/PM 12-hour time, but this is still a good partial solution for me, eh?
  • I'd like to have YYYY-MM-DD format as well, especially if for this case, Zotero already uses this format internally. Another place the less-ideally-formatted date pops up is when using the 'Add Note from Annotations' option after annotationing a PDF…
  • +1. I think adding HTML support at the same time, and annotations like https://web.hypothes.is/ for each, would be nice too (since ePUB and HTML are very very similar). I believe the official Zotero Connector chrome extension already supports archiv…
  • Apologis for sidetracking; I'm interested in a similar workflow, but one additional thing I'd like to have available is a way to include context around the highlight saved in the note annotation that can then be exported to Obsidian/MD app. For ex…
  • In examining this I found a bug for the "select" link, linking it here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/95789/zotero-select-links-dont-work-on-app-launch?new=1. I also suggested a possible new API "zotero://open" that could open ANY parent it…
  • That would honestly be nice, but I see your point.. Can zotero://open-pdf open non-pdfs, such as web archive html pages saved with the connector extension in the default browser? With those I know there aren't page numbers or annotations anyway, but…
  • Ah I see, thanks so much. I'll figure out how to get the PDF item itself in the exporter and see if that solves it.
  • Thanks for the clarification. However, this might apply outside of plugins - I've adapted a custom translator written in Javascript for quick-copying a markdown link to the pdf via open-pdf endpoint and it uses Zotero.nextItem().key for the unique i…
  • Upon further experimentation, the links work if I export them using Zotero 6's new method with annotations and page numbers. But I cannot generate the same link on my own, as the item ID is incorrect if I do it this way (with, for example, BetterBib…
  • The zotero://open-pdf doesn't do anything for me on Zotero 6.0.2 either, nor has it worked on previous versions. It just makes Zotero active. I'd also prefer that I could call open-pdf on a web page (HTML) and have it just open in the web browser th…
  • I'm interested in this same workflow. Although I'd be even more interested if there were a setting to just automatically have the annotations be exported into a note, and automatically updated when I add additional annotations. I also really like …
  • I'm really excited for this feature. What I would love is a way to automatically export the PDF annotations to markdown whenever an annotation is added/removed, and update the MD file of these annotations wherever it is saved without affecting links…
