You can view the table of contents/bookmarks for a PDF in the left-hand sidebar already.188BET靠谱吗It's not currently possible to create bookmarks within the Zotero PDF reader, though.
I would agree.This would be a terrific feature.It would enhance the functionality of the show outline feature.This outline is super helpful for navigating longer, book length documents that already have an outline in their metadata.Would it be possible to give users the ability to create such an outline by adding bookmarks to chapters in a longer document or other passages that they deem important.This would be helpful to navigate PDF of books that do NOT have chapters in their meta data.This is common when I scan older books.
I agree.Lots of articles etc.(even new ones) don't have an outline, so it would be great to be able to create bookmarks manually from headings.
As a workaround, I currently highlight all headings (and only headings) in purple and have created a note template for the markdown export that exports all purple annotations as "## text".
I agree.Having an outline of the paper or book you are reading is a must when reading papers.
188BET靠谱吗I find most articles do have the usual IMRAD sections that should be detected by the Zotero Outline.In effect, many papers/books are provided with the Outline.188BET靠谱吗However, for some papers, these are not detected by the Zotero auto-Outline even though the Headings for the different sections and subsections are there (Abstract, Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, References).As an example, this happens with PLOS ONE, The Biological Bulletin, Methods in Ecology and Evolution articles, just to name the few I had opened right now).
188BET靠谱吗Apparently the Zotero auto-Outline feature needs to be revised to detect those.
My personal solution to this is:
1.188BET靠谱吗close the paper pdf in Zotero
2.opening the paper pdf in an external pdf reader (e.g.Nitro Pdf),
3.use the auto detect Outline there (also called auto-bookmarks or similar),
3.saving changes.
188BET靠谱吗When I re-open the paper in Zotero, the Outline is there.
Of course, this workaround it implies many steps, so I tend to use it for really important references.188BET靠谱吗I believe it could be easily solved within Zotero since all papers/thesis use the same, general, sections.
188BET靠谱吗+1 I've also been using other software (FoxitReader) to change the outline but I would really appriciate the feature to be incorporated in Zotero
+1 this would be very handy.For reference, the Google Scholar PDF reader extension does this very well (as well as transclusion to Scholar entries on each citation in-text)
+1
188BET靠谱吗I see an outline on my PDFs on Google Scholar PDF Reader but not on Zotero (or any other PDF reader for that matter).188BET靠谱吗If Zotero could do whatever that reader extension is doing, it would be quite useful!
+1
A tool for creating our own outline of a pdf is indeed quite needed.The possibility of the created outline to have headings/toggles would be an amazing +

I'd love to be able to add entries to the outline instead, and then be able to have the outline entered into the markdown export as I have previously suggested ( 188BET靠谱吗https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/96246/include-headings-when-extracting-annotations).
Posted a very similar discussion earlier ( 188BET靠谱吗https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/99413/making-a-pdf-outline/), but this thread seems to gather more traction.
