The problem was recently fixed in pdf.js and I have adopted the same fix to the development version of zotfile. With this fix, the annotation are extracted correctly!

EDIT: Skimming through zotfile.js, I think the modification times are being set incorrectly on one of my devices. Modified the zotfile.js to output the modification times in the "info" window and time

'info'. Whenever you get a file from the tablet, zotfile shows the filepath on the tablet and two additional variables in brackets. Clicking on the window copies the information to the clipboard so t

I'm beginning to think this issue isn't ZotFile's fault; it's probably the tablet's e-reader software when saving the annotated document. Maybe it changes something which causes ZotFile to not be able

I know ZotFile solves some of these features, but I haven't found a note taking software that works well with it. Is there really nothing out there that can do what I'm looking for?

@matt0410 - Your problem doesn't seem to be related to the extraction of annotations. Can you check whether there is an error message?

[UPDATE] Nevermind, I have solved the issue. Somehow I had missed an option in "Advanced Settings" that allows the user to specify under which circumstances ZotFile should rename the added files.<br /

I had to go into zotero and choose "rename" (Zotfile) manually - that hadn't launched at download.)

I downloaded there, but Zotfile did not kick in to rename the file, and no record was created (no metadata available ?!?); no metadata was recognizable later, when I found the "bare PDF" in my library

So the recommendation to give Zotfile a look was on-target advice. I've installed it and did my first download, and it was very satisfying!

want to keep), you may want to take a look at ZotFile, which allows you to automatically move PDFs to a folder hierarchy based on their metadata. This will also convert the PDFs in Zotero to file lin

no, that's not possible. You can use Zotfile and move the files or you can use Zotfile and leave the files in Zotero, but you cannot use Zotfile and leave files where they are.

Quick question, is it possible for Zotfile to rename files without creating a copy of the file or moving it anywhere, just changing the filename of the original file and leaving it in its original fol

One thing I do not like so far (or at least have not been able to figure out with Zotfile) is the missing watched folder feature (that Mendeley has). But I guess I have now moved beyond that with the

post this and anything related to Zotfile in the Zotfile support thread - most likely someone will find it there, should be a pretty easy fix:

I have a lot of Report items in my library. ZotFile allows the use of %j for journal, %p for publisher, or %w for {%j|%p}. Report items do not have a journal name or publisher, but do have an institut

No, unless ZotFile/Zutilo offers this function. The idea is that in Zotero a link to a file is the same as a shortcut on your computer. If you delete a shortcut, you shouldn't delete the file. (b) Is

Zotfile will not give them all the same name. If there is a naming conflict, it will append "2", "3", "4", etc. (but no number for the first file with the same name). I think if you rename the PDFs on

Now I've got Zotero & Zotfile works with Dropbox! Thanks for all the discussion :)
