If you're not running the beta and want to extract annotations from external PDF readers, you'd need to use the ZotFile plugin.

oceanrams, i think zotfile can do #3 automatically using the below feature. i haven't used it in awhile but my memory is that you can click on an item, tell zotfile to attach latest file (from whatev

text and annotations into a separate note as zotfile has done with PDFs for ages and as the beta now does.

Running 5.0.97-beta.43+c5d89f6d0 (with connector beta, zotfile,mdnotes,better biblatex,zutilo all on latest).

The Zotero beta includes a new PDF reader that can add annotations to notes itself. You don't need to use ZotFile for that if you're using the beta, and ZotFile isn't currently maintained.

This discussion was created from comments split from: Zotero Beta with enabled pdf reader not fully themed on linux.

zotfile : 5.0.16

@nathan.hopson: Yes, ZotFile's "Use actual article/book chapter page" is using the "Pages" field, so these offsets won't work for books. (You can find more technical details here.)

How can I get Zotfile to move and rename markdown (.md) documents?

I've been using Zotfile and mdnotes to extract annotations from PDFs, convert them to markdown, and import them into an external markdown editor (I use Joplin) as explained in this video: https://yout

The latest versions of Better BibTeX, Zutilo, and ZotFile should now be fully compatible with Zotero 5.0.97-beta.41. Make sure you've updated to the latest versions of Zotero and all plugins, and star

Sorry, we can only help with Zotero, not ZotFile. You're already using the beta, so I would recommend using Zotero, not ZotFile, to add annotations to notes.

@coyote054, are you using the Zotero beta? (If so, be sure to always say so when posting here.) Most of my answer still stands — you want to add temporary files to Zotero, delete the original, and let

First, you're describing ZotFile functionality, not Zotero functionality — be sure to mention that when reporting problems here.

So I installed ZotFile, but I am stuck right now. I watched some of the tips on Youtube and tried "send to tablet" using ZotFile than opening pdfs on Felxcil.

@syfmark: A deprecation warning that explains the change has been logged since 2017. It's a trivial change. ZotFile just hasn't really been under development for years.

@dstillman thanks for your work. Because we can't afford the expense of cloud space, we need to use Zotfile to store files in another place. If the new version of Zotero could provide a new API to rep

We've pushed a new beta build, 5.0.97-beta.40, that fixes ZotFile renaming. (ZotFile is using a function that's been deprecated for four years and was finally removed, but we've restored it for now.)

I'm also having problems with Zotfile and BBT after updating beta. Zotfile can't seem to rename files to truncated titles even if that option is selected. I've reverted back to the previous version fo
