Sure, a list is fine, but the basic rule is that ZotFile will recognize annotations according the the PDF standard and won't recognize annotations that don't follow the standard (it uses the same tool

I apologize for not being more clear. I was writing about ZotFile not caring about highlight color. If someone doesn't ninja me, I'll try to comment soon on several pdf annotation programs that work w

There may be a misunderstanding. Zotero does not extract highlights. That is done by ZotFile, a third-party plugin that is not maintained by Zotero.

@adamsmith well, using your rule of thumb Zotfile should be able to extract them because the highlights are in bright yellow.

It's not Zotero because the only part of Zotero involved is the ability to create notes for ZotFile and that either works or it doesn't.

As for the annotation software, I think it was the same, but am not 100% sure. I only use highlights. If I understand you well, though, Zotero/Zotfile can only handle annotations from certain software

Definitely not a Zotero problem, but it's certainly conceivable that ZotFile might get stuck.

You can then use the third-party ZotFile extension to convert your stored files to linked files stored in iCloud.

I recently installed Zotfile, after which I tested it with a PDF file that had a few highlights. The extraction worked well.

That's how you do it with ZotFile for existing files. ZotFile should move new files automatically.

I've just imported my library from Mendeley, with items being stored in Zotero. As far as I could understand Zotero's confusing file management approach, I've switched from 'absolute paths' to using '

First, I am very happy with Zotfile and Zotero since 1 year (I moved from Papers)

I suspect indeed ZotFile is playing some foul tricks; I need to do some more testing to verify. Certainly these duplicates were not caused by the merge functionality. Would there be a way to automatic

I would add, though, that you generally don't use "Link to file…" if you're using ZotFile (and since most people who use linked files use ZotFile, most people just don't use "Link to file…"). It's pos

If you haven't merged duplicate items, it's possible ZotFile is doing something to cause the duplicates, but I wouldn't be able to help with that.

I recently started using Zotero (+Zotfile), so please forgive my ignorance. Also, while writing this question I realised I am having a hard time describing the problem clearly, so please bear with me
