It would be great to see Zotero integrate these databases into a PDF search feature, or a plug-in


Zotero has had Unpaywall integration since 2018:

I… wow. Thank you.

Also: thank you for building a tool that actually works. I used it first in 2010, then switched to EndNote for better web integration, but I’m back to Zotero now that there’s a Safari add on. The PDF functionality in 5.0 has made apps like Notability and Goodnotes for the seemingly trivial task of managing and marking up highlights completely redundant.

It’s one of those OSS applications that genuinely works well and can be approachable to everyday people without feeling like a half-baked product.
