Zotero's V7 reader is great, built on pdfjs (Mozillas pdf reader) and adds neat things like notations and dark mode.
- random3 2y agois it possible to point Zotero to a local dir with papers, or am I forced to import documents into it?
- specproc 2y agoI love zotero. The combination of annotation, highlights, document management and a healthy plug-in ecosystem are just killer for me. It feels a bit dated sometimes, but I'm yet to find anything that comes close.
- kristjansson 2y agoIt looks a lot nicer after the recent design update!
- wolverine876 2y agoIIRC, pdfjs is used by Google also, and was based on Foxit? ? Does anyone know?
- Tijdreiziger 2y agoPDF.js came out of Mozilla, not Foxit.
- wolverine876 2y agoYes, but I think Mozilla may have started with code from Foxit.
- thristian 2y agoThe PDFium plugin that was part of Chrome was based on C++ code from Foxit. PDFjs was written in JS from day one, and (as far as I know) was not based on any previous PDF reader.
- wolverine876 2y agoMaybe that's what I was thinking of. Thanks. BTW, I didn't mean they necessarily used the actual Foxit code, but it was a starting point maybe reimplemented in JS.
- cxr 2y agoIn no sense is PDF.js related to Foxit except that they are both PDF readers.
- elektor 2y agoWhere are you accessing Zotero V7? My understanding is that it is currently V6.[1] [1] https://www.zotero.org/download/ https://www.zotero.org/download/
- garyiskidding 2y agoI use Zotero and really like it, especially when working with others. This was the first thing that came into my mind on this thread.
