@hcsiller: yes, just select all the items and click 'extract annotations'. Maybe first test with ~10 pdfs. Zotfile extracts the annotations for all pdf attachments of selected items. There might still

Excellent work with Zotfile 2, it's nice that Zotfile Reader was merged in and the extract annotations feature is awesome!

There are a few pdfs where the anchored text is not picked up like in the sample below. (The Zotfile report box showed up in all of them).
