I have scanned a text and OCR'ed with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC v2015.006.30033 I use Firefox (43.0.4), ZotFile (4.1.6), Zotero Standalone (4.0.28.7), Windows 7 When trying to extract my annotations, I get

I have tried Zotfile to extract the highlights for a pdf in foxit reader and it worked as advertised.

I realize it doesn't matter to _you_, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't matter. We have a fair number of users who use links because they don't want to -- or are even legally barred from -- puttin

that's correct. ZotFile uses Zotero data to organize files. Without Zotero data, it can't organize them.

Thanks for the reply. So, just to confirm, I'll have to retrieve metadata information individually...for each of the hundreds of PDFs I have....before I can use Zotfile to organize them in the Zotero

I see the Zotfile link for

The last bit is interesting -- so what icon does Zotero show for that file? Files stored in Zotero have a PDF-type icon (with the adobe logo and a bit of red). Files moved by ZotFile should just show

Sorry to reply to this so late. I'm now working on a different computer and have installed Zotero and Zotfile (pointing to an empty folder named Zotero in my Dropbox) but am still struggling to get my

Not sure this is the same issue now that ZotFile is part of the story.

Duplication, Zotero Database, Zotfile

Thanks, had the same problem with Zotfile pdf extractions, and updating Zotfile solved it.

Actually I doesn't mind if zotero cloud stores the file or not. The reason why I use zotfile is to automatically organize in one place that I can possibly check when I do not open zotero, instead of t

You mostly have this right, except that the links ZotFile creates aren't symbolic links (aka symlinks) but just plain links to files.

I have been using zotero standalone for a few years but just start to use the group library lately. I used to use zotfile and choose the option 'Custom Location' under the option of 'Location of files

Hi, I want to find out how rename existing file subfolders. I am using Firefox Zotero with zotfile.
