I have been using logseq to collect notes on scholarly papers that I read for the last few months. I hadn’t added a new paper for a while, but I suddenly find a “Error” Missing PDF" error anytime I try connecting to the a zotero pdf. Here is the basic workflow:

  1. activate the /zotero command. and link to the desired paper.
  2. click on the new link [[@MyCoolPaper]].
  3. click on the “open” button following the [[Attachments]] cell that indicates the paper i’m interested in.
  4. *** in the past, this would have opened the pdf in the logseq pdf viewer. Now, however, i’m getting the above mentioned error.

note: if i delete the full path from the cell having the open button – leaving only the file name – it seems to work fine. I’m just not sure what i might have changed, or what might have changed in an update that now requires me to delete this part of the path each time.

Hey I have the same problem with Logseg-Zotero. I had to get a new device (because of the Win11 update) and with the new Laptop I had to Sync Zotero to it etc. My logseq Folders are located in onedrive - so I could easily pass them. But still since I tried to use older Zotero-imported pages, it shows the error even if the Pdf is in the right location. I dont know how to solve it.

Hi there again :slight_smile: I found a solution for this problem - even if your thread is two years old, mabey it serves to somebody else or to you if you are still looking for a solution . In my case I had to adapt the Zotero-Settings in Logseq:

  1. I reinstalled zotero and set the library path as default (not at onedrive folder)

  2. Go to Zotero Settings and change the link- and attachment path to the default Zotero directory (in my case “C:users\name\Zotero

  3. I tried it again and all the pdfs were there!!

Only problem is, that you cannot put your Zotero library in a cloud-folder. But Zotero anyways has its own cloud and syncing so for me it did not change anything.
