![]() The annotation integration really converts Zotero from a citation manager to a knowledge management system. I’m new to this but Zotero really is amazing! The only other place I’ve seen this ability to extract highlights is a beta importer from Readwise which is far less functional. It feels very safe to have cross-platform files, especially when investing a lot of time into the annotating, and even though handwritten notes don’t extract, they are right there in the Zotero-organized pdf file for reference. I look forward to the beta pdf reader, too, but frankly one of the most valuable traits of Zotero is the ability to work with annotated files from external readers. I am anxious to try it, but want to get functional with Zotero 5 before jumping into the fun, new beta. Thank you, DStillman, for the information about the Beta. I’m very sad to give up on PDF Expert, but happy to have the problem solved. ![]() I hope all my work will be extracted and contribute to several summer research projects. Good luck with your work, and thanks again for your help!Īstrohao, thanks for the update! Ok, good to know that Adobe is working for you because I am investing loads of time reading & note-taking right now. If you see this post and can clarify what you meant about the "official PDF reader" I would appreciate it and I'll watch for a response. Why Adobe cannot make annotating as user friendly as PDF Expert is beyond me. My objective is to extract searchable highlights and comments/notes to Zotero. Thanks to your email, I have used Adobe Reader on the IPad exclusively today, and the annotations seem to be extracting properly into Zotero. My desktop Zotero does not have a pdf reader that I can identify the Zotero pdf files open in my Adobe Pro 2020 software when I am on my desktop, and I transfer files to and from an IPad for detailed annotation. I assume what I should conclude from your reply and the links your provided is that PDF Expert is not a reliable interface with Zotfile? When you say you're using the "official PDF reader" are you referring to something integrated with the new Zotero beta app for IPad? I have not ventured into that yet. Thanks so much for your reply! Yes, I read exclusively academic literature (accounting and finance) in pdf files. And Adobe has a terrible interface in my opinion, very uncomfortable to use, is there a reliable alternative?Īny suggestions? Zotfile instructions say that it works with PDF Expert, I don't understand what happened. I'm so disappointed that all my annotations from PDF Expert are useless now, basically just images. I had really hoped I could read and annotate from my tablet with a user-friendly pdf reader. I did the extract command again and Zotfile extracted the Adobe annotations (still not the PDF Expert ones). Is PDF Expert not compatible? I get a red X notice on all of them.Īfter this happened, I opened those same already-annotated articles in Adobe on my laptop and "re-annotated" them with Adobe. I did this with lots of articles, none of them work. That worked great! The articles are now returned to Zotero all marked up, but Zotfile will not extract any of the annotations. I was so excited to learn about Zotero and Zotfile! I set it up and used the tablet feature to send articles to my tablet for annotation with the PDF Expert app.
