After I import a file to Zotero, Zotfile moves it to an outside folder and creates a link to it. I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a copy of the PDF file as an attachment in Zotero. Basi

I managed to setup Zotero with Zotfile, Better BibLaTex and Mdnotes to extract annotations from pdf documents and export them into a markdown that is stored in my Obsidian vault.

So...I'm in a bit of a pickle. I downloaded Zotero, downloaded Zotfile.

My understanding is that you do not need to enter anything for Linked Attachment Base Directory (under Zotero Preferences\Advanced\Files and Folders) just because you're using Zotfile to control your

2. Come to my Mac, sync, and use ZotFile to rename the attached PDF of that entry;

I downloaded Zotero and the Zotfile plug-in so that I can extract annotations from my PDFs. However, when I right-click on the entry the only options that come up with Manager Attachments are "Rename

I'm trying to set up Zotero ZotFile on my Mac so I can access all my PDFs on my iPad and iPhone.

I had been using Zotfile to get pdfs to my ipad, then mark them up in PDF Expert, then sync them back to the Mac. Can't believe I hadn't known about the iPad app before.

Using ZotFile, I have given all pdf document nice names and it would be very helpful to keep this same naming convention for the annotations.

The method as described by @ckharwood worked for me on my laptop. On my office desktop it didn't work for some reason. Setting are configured the same and ZotFile is routing all the files to the same

features I use, which is why I still use Zotfile to send files to a 3rd-party editor on my iPad (PDF Expert, free version).

So, I understand that the only folder I need to be sync'd using a cloud sync solution then is the Zotfile folder. The remainder will be sync'd through my Zotero web account in the database fields.

3. I select the PDF with notes attached to the article (via Zotfile) from the list

As I mentioned in your other thread, ZotFile no longer extracts annotations.

ZotFile no longer extracts annotations. Are you referring to Zotero's "Add Note from Annotations" function?

When using the annotation export tool (built into Zotfile), I noticed that if I add a note to text split between two columns then this text (quoted text) is not visible in the content of the exported

I would like to be able to copy the text of a note created in Zotfile and paste it in Obsidian. Unfortunately, I don't see such an option. Do you know of any way other than saving to disk and opening

2. use zotfile to send it to OneDrive synced folder to read it on my external ebook reader via ("send to device")

Hi, I've got Zotero set up with Zotfile and Better Bibtex on my PC. I'm looking for a good solution to syncing Better Bibtex on my laptop also.

Sorry, overlooked that. That's broken in ZotFile then and I don't think it's likely to get fixed, at least not any time soon. You'd either have to content with what Zotero's own rename has to offer no
