Ok, I understand that there was no real alternative option. But essentially, it results in useless scraps for anything that doesn't have an ISBN. I used the amazon-importer for my film-collection, and now it just imports every dvd as a book, li…

> Annotation and highlighting functionality is no longer maintained > and doesn't sync with the server. This should be properly advertised, IMHO. I'm sure there are plenty of people who use it and expect it to sync accross their libraries.

Just as an update, since this thread popus up time and again: This will no longer work! Don't try it. While I haven't tried Zotfile, I think it does not exactly what this script did, namely extract PDF annotations and highlights into Zotero notes …

There's always many roads that lead to Rome. I would actually think both ideas would make sense. My intuition is, however, that drag&drop is a major feature, as it really is a one time decision what drag&drop will do in Zotero: I can see tha…

@Dan Stillman: Oh, sorry, I didn't know that. I guess that makes me a beta-tester from now on then. Thanks.

Here's another vote for the option to collapse search results by default. And no, the - key is not an alternative, as I have to click into another part of the Zotero window to make it work. To clarify this: When I'm entering a search term, I want to…

ok, ok, I'm caving in... ;-) I would have thought that it is as simple as adding a "file.pdf#page=10" parameter. However, this isn't part of the pdf specification, so pdf readers other than Acrobat might not support it (However, at least pdf-Xchang…

I wouldn't have the time to write patches (I also think this suggestion is a frequent dead end for feature requests in os-projects). I am aware that PDF page ranges are not consistent with the "pages"-field of "book section"-entries in Zotero. Howe…
-
I beg to differ. pdftotext, the utility Zotero uses to extract the text from pdfs, has command line options to specify a page range: -f number Specifies the first page to convert. -l number Specifies the last page …

@Avram and Frank Thanks for both your answers. I will give the development trunk a try (albeit I won't let it anywhere near my working data). Also, thanks for the (albeit understandably evasive) date you put on this feature. @Frank Am I right to as…

Hi everybody, Glad that this discussion is still going on. As in 2007, I still think that it would be great if Zotero could index the contents and highlights of PDFs. Couple of thoughts: -there exist a number of programs to annotate PDFs (using th…

Is there any roadmap-date for resolving this issue? Because, honestly, I think it is ridiculous that this problem has not yet been solved. I love Zotero, and I'm using it actively every day, but this issue has been raised in the pre-beta days and …

@erazlogo Yes, I am quite sure (Works for me). Simply copy the following into an HTML-file On correctly authored dvds this should bring up the film. Otherwise there are options to bring up a specific stream, subtitle, audiostream, etc. You might …

Same here. Bug is reproducable. Simply use two works by the same author in MLA-style and it crashes. What it should do (the moment you insert the second work), is change all prior references to the author to include the title.
-
How about this? Notice how the space allocated to each section is identical to that used in the bottombar. But with widescreen desktops, the webpage at the side is still perfectly readable. Support this feature too.

Similar problem: Our university uses a proxy-solution from juniper networks which changes the above link: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?sourceid=Mozilla-search&q="Dispositional+theories+of+value" into: https://crypto.unil.ch/scholar,Dana…

This is only a suggestion, but you might try changing the txt-file encoding from ANSI (which it probably is) to Unicode or UTF-8. In windows, open in the Editor and do a File->Save As, then select a different encoding in the dropdown-list of the …

Every Item in Zotero has a "Call Number". While it is not filled automatically, it should not be a problem to fill it with any number you wish to help you organize your files. If you do not just place the file on top of a heap, but have a more compl…

I've been working on a solution for this. At the moment there is a temporary filter here: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/802/parsing-external-file-with-zotero-import-script/#Item_4 I will continue this work in a month once I've finished the pa…

Couldn't the plugin use variable-fields to create the citations? So that one could have 1. [Name], [Firstname]. [Title] ([Year]). then one could manually reorder or add information into the footnotes: 1. cf. In [Year] [Firstname] [Name] suggested t…

I second this, highlights (and annotations) need to be taggable, and support the "related to" functionality (as I've already said elsewhere).
-
At the moment I just use /italics/ *bold* _underlined_ ^superscript^. Works for me, but obviously, more than that would be great.
-
Oh, yes, did I already mention, that it is absolutely necessary that one can tag annotations and highlights? And create "Related Items" links to and from them? And yes, I do think that this is absolutely crucial!
-
Rather, it should just be possible to manage annotations (and if possible highlighted passages) in the same place as notes, with the possibility to just show notes, highlights or annotations. (no button "import notes from annotations" needed)
-
code continued: // initializes the objlist object, reading all PDF-objects from the file, stripping them of streams function createObjlist () { var text; var cleanpdf=""; var holdOver = ""; // part of the text held over from the last loop var s…

Although I seem to have a conversation with myself I vastly improved the code from above (which was one big mess). The code now really parses the pdf-file. It recreates the pdf-objects and the pagetree and looks for annotations (instead of just cru…
-
Ok, here's an evening's work. I now read the comments and the Highlights directly from the PDF! However, for the Highlights to be extracted, one still has to use Acrobat's option to automatically copy highlighted content into a hidden note (and thi…

Hi, I've found the solution myself. Adapted RDF-import. Will be back for other questions... *returns to hacking* Matthias

Hello, I am now using a workaround for my problem. In Adobe Acrobat 8 (maybe also in the Reader) you can change the settings, so that the program automatically copies the highlighted passages into the note that in pdfs comes with every highlight (b…
