It's a plugin, but ZotFile can extract annotations made in most popular PDF viewers = you choose where you want to annotate your PDFs.I don't think they do, but we should have an objective way of testing this.Īll of this should go into a separate thread though. I would definitely like to know if Mendeley or Papers outperform Zotero in PDF metadata retrieval. Just having to maintain the table would give _us_ a better feel for where we're lagging behind.Īgain, this would have to be kept objective, so we may need to come up with a list of criteria to test and a proper way of doing it.

I find comparison tables made by software companies dishonest - I know they all do it, but I think tables that just show how your product can do everything that other products can and so much are basically a lie (because obviously Mendeley has features that Zotero doesn't and vice versa, same for Endnote, Refworks etc.). Since Mendeley doesn't export folders, the only way to import them would be to go through the sqlite directly and that'd require a very significant amount of coding. The only way to do that is to export/import them individually into Zotero. If you have mainly books and articles the difference likely won't matter.
