It gets lost because under the hood Zotfile deletes the attachment item and makes a new one. Zotfile hasn’t been updated to accommodate the new PDF reader, and updating it would likely require a major

Sorry, I meant the highlighted text. The annotations do export fine with the built-in option. But if I rename/move a PDF using ZotFile (Manage attachments > Rename attachments), it seems to get rid of

The ZotFile part sounds like a misunderstanding:

You're totally right, I'm still new to Zotero and was getting its functionalities mixed with Zotfile.

Okay, it’s great that it will be possible at some point, just for interoperability reasons to work seamlessly between platforms, because Zotfile doesn’t seem to be able to extract the new annotations

You don't need ZotFile to extract Zotero annotations into a note (and ZotFile doesn't know anything about those, since it hasn't been updated). You can create a note from Zotero annotations by right-c

When I extract annotations from my files, Zotfile does fine with the underline I've done in the Xodo reader I use on my tablet on the pdf files. However, whenever I highlight in the Zotero integrated

@dstillman: Hmm. However, Zotfile does not recognise the notes and markings created "internally" in this way either. Is there an alternative?

I coded a JS to clean the customized reference fold after Zotfile is installed, https://github.com/redleafnew/zotero-javascripts/blob/main/4delete the attachment files after the items have been remove

I'm using ZotFile to extract annotations/highlighted text from PDFs to notes. I would like to use this information in mind maps including the possibility to use the reference link from within Freeplan

irrelevant? I want to go through the automated zotfile process of rename and move but I don't want to lose potentially valuable data I could manually parse myself later.

edit: issue solved. The items were in use in another application. Once I closed it, zotfile started working again.

I have a question that as I'm using Zotfile and iCloud to manage and storage the PDFs, is there any options like 'Link Attachment Base Directoy' in desktop version to make the Zotero(iOS) able to read

The 8 digits random strings folder should be removed if the trash is empty after the Zotfile is installed, however some folders remains in the storage folder,  there is only one file named as .zotero-

NEW PROBLEM: when many files (ca. 800 in my case) are selected and Zotfile is asked to extract the annotations, the process gets stuck.

Pdf's are complex and only some allow extraction through zotfile. is there a method to "convert" a pdf from a "non-extractable" pdf to an "extractable" pdf? For example could you convert a non-extra

If I have Zotfile move files to a local, unmounted, folder, then Zotfile works just fine, converting the PDF attachment to a Linked file. I can then use rclone periodically to sync the files in my lo

I'm afraid other than fixing this in ZotFile or finding someone willing to do so, there's currently no obvious solution. It's a little odd that there aren't more reports of this, so it's possible that

One other idea. Could it be a permissions issue running on Linux with the way that Zotero is assigning its permissions to files that would prevent other processes (in this case the Zotfile add-on) fr
