Yeah, so the scenario where you drag PDFs to Zotero or directly import PDFs to Zotero from the web currently doesn't work with ZotFile's automatic rename&move and you have to do it manually.

“ZotFile automatic renaming doesn’t work properly during and after importing PDFs.”

version => 5.0.47, platform => Win32, oscpu => Windows NT 10.0; WOW64, locale => en-US, appName => Zotero, appVersion => 5.0.47, extensions => Zutilo Utility for Zotero (3.0.3, extension), Zotero Word

Incidentally it's not as straightforward as "this app always causes trouble". I tried to reproduce with a sample one-line Word document -> PDF -> EzPDF -> Zotfile, and it worked fine... but it doesn't

Just for the information: I'm using Moon+ Reader for Android and all the highlights (and notes) are extracted by ZotFile without any problems.

Problem with Poppler Tool: using MacOS X 10.13, Zotero 5.0.47, Zotfile 5.0.8: After clicking on "Download & Install Poppler Tool" in the Zotfile preferences, Poppler was installed and worked. Then, it

I installed Zotfile and use a modified name rule: SI_{%a_}{%y_}{%t}

*Facepalm*, well that's embarrassingly simple. I saw that command on the zotfile website and misinterpreted it. Thank you so much for sticking with me on this!

No, Zotfile literally cannot edit any part of a pdf file, including annotations. It simply has no ability to interact with a PDF file other than to read it.

No, Zotfile doesn't edit the PDF itself, but he edit the comments you have wrote. I know it shouldn't make this to that, but it does it.

In Zotfile preferences, there is an option to place files in sub folders based on item metadata. Enter %c to organize them based on Zotero collections.

The only way I could figure out how to use Zotfile to organize pdfs was to either have all of the pdfs dump into one folder or have subfolders based on the pdf title, author, publisher etc.

Yes, as I stated before, Zotfile can organize PDFs based on collections in Zotero. That can accomplish what you are looking for, right? If not, please explain why not.

What exactly do you mean by "annotations"? Which tool do you mean? Zotfile should extract highlights, underlines, and comments entered in the Comment Bubble tool.

Zotero can do it fine, but Zotfile can't :(

Zotfile has a problem selecting existing folders on an android 6 e-reader. I cannot select a folder on the reader. Zotero as well cannot work with the existing folder structure. The operating system

so I don't know whether something has changed in Zotfile/pdf.js, or whether something has changed in EzPDF. Weirdly, if I open the files in Acrobat, the highlights show up as perfectly normal highlig

Just some clarifications from the zotfile author: I am not planing any major update to zotfile right now. I will do some maintenance but I am not going to chase down possible bugs. Most things that ge

I'm not aware of anything in ZotFile that's currently reliably broken. E.g. I just tested extracting highlights on Windows 10 using Acrobat and that works just fine. I'd try with different annotation

The intention from the Zotero developers is to incorporate many of Zotfile’s features into Zotero itself.
