I used ZotFile to extract the annotations from PDFs and to fine-tune the formatting of the extracted text via some hidden preferences (such as .pdfExtraction.NoteHtmlTagStart, formatNoteTitle, formatA

I have a question: can this be used with Zotfile where the files are linked to a dropbox folder?

I had Zotero (5.0.97-beta.33) + Zotfile set up across one desktop PC and a tablet, all working nicely. I then tried to add a laptop into the setup, I thought I'd mirrored all the right settings and pr

I'm following some recipes that reference Zotfile for academic study and had presumed pdf's to be opened from the Base Directory ... but I feel like I'm missing a piece whereby the pdf gets associate

Regardless of whether ZotFile is disabled, it's ZotFile if you're referring to "links". Zotero doesn't create links — it has built-in functionality ("Go to Page") to go back to an annotation from a no

This isn't ZotFile - that is disabled.

First, it sounds like you may be referring to links created by ZotFile. Zotero has its own mechanism for adding annotations to notes, and we recommend using that going forward.

Yes, sorry for making it not right in my reply. It is Zotfile plugin in Obsidian.

@philip.s.ericsson: You add Zotero annotations — including imported Mendeley annotations — to notes using Zotero's own annotation functionality. If you're trying to use ZotFile, that won't work — ZotF

@ashvis and @andals: ZotFile won't extract highlights created by Zotero. Zotero has its own functionality to add PDF highlights to notes. There's no need to use ZotFile's PDF functionality if you're u

I am having the same issue. In a document, I have highlights added by both Preview and Zotero. Only the preview highlights are picked up by Zotfile.

Is there anything I am doing wrong? I am using the latest Beta version and Zotfile installed.

I've just successfully imported my Mendeley library. When I open one of the PDF's that came from Mendeley in Zotero I can see my old highlighted text and annotations, however Zotero is unable to extra

And the older libraryID_key format from ZotFile is also supported.

I love the new PDF reader. Before the beta, I relied on Zotfile, and my practice was to annotate a PDF, extract the annotations using Zotfile's extraction command, and tag the parent item as "Annotate

How can I get Zotfile to move and rename markdown (.md) documents? Is it possible to add this feature if it is unavailable?

Thanks for your quick reply. I installed ZotFile as well. However, I have the same issue as with Zutilo, there are really no usable instructions on how to use it. The only thing I can find on the web

You want ZotFile, not Zutilo.
