Zotero, but no pdfs in vault

Help

Hi

Don’t import PDFs into your vault. Only import the annotations. I’m using the Zotero Integration plugin. You can browse and try templates here.

Then when you use the plugin with your chosen template, the deep links of the PDFs will be there to click on.
For example, a template I had been using before:

---
year: {{date | format ("YYYY")}}
publish: false
aliases:
  - {{citekey}}
authors: 
  - [{{authors}}]
date created: <%tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD")%>
date modified: <%tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD")%>
---
Abstract: {{abstractNote}}

### {{title}}
URL: {{url}}
Zotero Link: {{pdfZoteroLink}}

### Notes
{% for annotation in annotations -%}{%- if annotation.annotatedText -%}{% if 'Red' in annotation.colorCategory %}
##### {{annotation.annotatedText | escape }}{% else %}
{{pdfZoteroLink}}
> {{annotation.annotatedText | escape }} ([See page {{annotation.page}}.](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/{{annotation.attachment.itemKey}}?page={{annotation.page}}&annotation={{annotation.id}}))

{% endif %}{%- endif %} {% if annotation.imageRelativePath %} ![[{{annotation.imageRelativePath}}]]{% endif %}{% if annotation.comment %}
{{annotation.comment}}
{% endif %}{% endfor -%}

Inside Zotero, you can use the Zutilo plugin for deep links.
