Try the new Zotero Beta. It replaces ZotFile annotation extraction functionally with its own PDF reader and provides more precise page numbers.

@simon.haegele: If you're referring to the Zotero beta and the Extract Annotations option from ZotFile, see this thread.

Hello! I had set up Zotero/zotfile on my desktop so that when I add a new item (either via the Chrome plug-in or manually creating a new item), it finds the most attachment in my downloads folder, ren

@juanof9: To be clear, Zotero absolutely adopts ZotFile's main annotation functionality, and extends it significantly, with the potential for many more advanced features going forward. It doesn't yet

Hi! The new update seems to have killed zotfile whilst not adopting some of its key functionalities.

The use case that creates such large notes is extracting many annotations from long scientific books. But, in this case, 80-90k is frequently surpassed, that is why I had to stick to zotfile for extra

The new annotation function produces text that is not as readable as the old Zotfile extraction tool.

I don't know what you mean by this. The point of this thread is just that Zotero's own "Add Note from Annotations" function in the items list context menu is a direct replacement for ZotFile's "Extra

First, if you're having a problem with notes in the beta, you should report it in a separate thread if you want it fixed. You appear to have posted one comment about this last March, with no follow-up

an oversight on our part in coordinating the ZotFile dev, but we're working to enable the built-in annotation features in groups ASAP.

(I think ZotFile has never done anything in groups at all -- the ability to do this with Zotero will be completely new)

This might be a slight misunderstanding. The latest version of ZotFile removed the ability to extract annotations across all libraries, because that's now supported by Zotero itself. But we haven't en

@kdb_research: That's the main feature from ZotFile we know is still missing. Can you share some examples of the kind of formatting you have in mind?

Hello. I am wondering if it is possible to extract annotations from a document in a group library. I use Zotfile, which works great on documents in my library. However, when I try to annotate a docume
