(You can use Zotfile to rename, but be sure that you have selected to use Zotero storage in the Zotfile settings.)

That'd be for the ZotFile developer to look into, but if you can provide a Report ID we might be able to tell you something.

Does this still happen if ZotFile and other extensions are disabled in Tools → Add-ons?

I have a PDF file that I have annotated using Drawboard PDF - it's the same process I've been using successfully to annotate and extract annotations with Zotero/Zotfile. But I am unable to extract the

You are describing the default Zotfile output which indicates that you have re-installed the original version and not your APA modified version.

If you're using WebDAV, you shouldn't be using ZotFile to move and rename.

BUT sometimes these folders contain only a single PDF file, and every this time I cannot rename and link the attachment using Zotfile.

In general, your workflow looks good. In step 5 you may have compressed the whole "zotfile-5.0.16-fx" folder instead of just the contents of the folder. This would cause the error in step 6.

If you want to use ZotFile to move the file to a new location, this does require multiple steps: drag & drop, then either wait for Zotero to automatically retrieve metadata or manually add a parent it

1. I don't know much about programming so I simply downloaded zotfile-5.0.16-fx.xpi and changed the extension to .zip to find pdfAnnotations.js

Can the same feature be achieved using linked files for my PDFs and having them stored in the Dropbox folder I have created? I tried with and without Zotfile and neither orked.

Thanks @biubiubiubunny for highlighting how not to use my Zotfile APA tweak.

I found an old thread discussing this via https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/72398/how-to-extract-annotation-in-zotfile-with-apa-format

A Zotero iPad app is coming, but for now your best bet is using the third-party ZotFile plugin, which lets you sync files with a cloud storage folder (e.g., Dropbox) so that you can annotate them on a

version => 5.0.84, platform => MacIntel, oscpu => Intel Mac OS X 10.15, locale => en-US, appName => Zotero, appVersion => 5.0.84, extensions => ZotFile (5.0.16, extension), Zotero LibreOffice Integrat

That's Zotero's default behavior, so you can just uninstall ZotFile unless you want to customize the renaming behavior.

If you want to use Zotero syncing, you need to use stored files rather than linked files. Even if you use ZotFile for renaming, you should be able to set it up to store files rather than creating link

It doesn't sync linked files — if you're using ZotFile to convert attachments to linked files stored elsewhere on your computer, you would have to sync those yourself using some external tool.
