Using PDFxchange and Zotfile:

If you'll be adding files to Zotero going forward and want to use a linked-file workflow, you want ZotFile — that's why it's mentioned in that section. Link to File allows you add existing files on di

Hi Adam, thanks for the reply. So, as it turns out ZotFile is not needed for what I am trying to do after all.

When you say "set to the relevant Zotero folder", do you mean that in Zotfile I should set the Location of Files > Custom Location to the folder I chose in Zotero's Linked Attachment Base Directory or

ZotFile's file moving isn't affected by the beta. Only annotation extracting is disabled because that's now possible with Zotero proper.

Hello, all. In a separate thread I noted that I have been having difficulty with page numbers going to the correct spot using Zotfile to extract annotations. I understand that the latest Beta version
