It’s insanely annoying that it isn’t possible on an iPad to open a PDF with an external PDF editor. This greatly impedes my plan to replace my Surface with a new iPad, as in Windows the external PDF r

@jandavid To check Zotero’s highlight hue, you can export the annotated PDF and inspect the hue details in your external reader. However, applying the same hue will not resolve the issue, since Zotero

look OK in my untrained eye. If a specific PDF reader has a problem with the file, maybe it should be reported there? If you can point out a specific page that exemplifies this problem, I can take a

These comments reported a major flaw, but it may have been ignored by the developers because they were in Chinese. There is a problem with Zotero's built-in PDF reader that causes the content of the n

Disabled other browser extensions (e.g., Google Scholar PDF Reader).

As @FHeimburger says, this is not a common way of using Zotero, so it's not something we've designed for. Creating a single (OCRed) PDF from the images would be a much better approach, and would allow

@PX2 there is also a plugin that allows you to open a PDF in an external PDF reader with one or two less clicks than Show in Finder ...

Based on what I've been reading, I think that it is a problem with the pdf. I've noticed now that the same PDF also freezes on my phone using the Zotero app. Other PDFs are perfectly fine on both devi

@dstillman - Just wanted to loop back on this one. Having been using the new PDF Reader / Editor in Zotero for a few weeks now, any concerns I had about loss of functionality have been erased. A rem

The built-in PDF reader of Zotero 8 (Zotero 8.0-beta.10+5a96e7c90, Linux, 64-bit) fails to display, in the PDF, annotations made with external programs that Zotero 7 or Zotero for iOS display.

I'm trying to understand why some ePubs in Zotero have page numbers and others do not. Of course, ePubs are not paginated like printed books or PDFs -- I get that. I also understand that some publishe

When viewing a PDF on my iPad, hiding the toolbar leaves a grey rectangle at the top of the screen. Sometimes the rectangle appears when the toolbar is active, but the toolbar is pushed up into the to

Embedded attachment notes are no longer supported in Zotero 7. Instead, you should create either sibling child notes on the parent item or note annotations in the PDF reader.

In the built-in reader of Zotero 8, when focusing on the iframewindow of the Reader (for example clicking anywhere of the PDF), shortcuts with the style of shift + xxx (e.g. Shift + E) do not work, bu

<<The reader needs a toggle button anyway, and this allows the button to stay in the same place as you open and close the pane.>>

You could (re-)add each *individual* PDF to its parent item from its new location via drag and drop into Zotero from your OS, with the modifier key to add it as a linked file (and then delete the old

This is working fine for me in Zotero 8.0-beta.8+4ae1ea1da (64-bit) with the following PDF file:

Zotero syncs "stored" PDFs across devices via its own servers (300mb free). But if you really want to keep your PDFs on Google Drive and have Google do the file syncing, you can use "linked" PDFs inst
