In order to work with your Zotero collection in external applications, you will first need to export it in Zotero RDF format.
To export a collection:
- Select the collection from your Library.
- Right-click on the collection, and select "Export Collection". A small modal dialog should appear.
- Select "Zotero RDF" from the Format field.
- If you want to parse full-text content (e.g. from attached PDF files), check
the "Export Files" option. - Click OK. An Export (save) dialog should appear.
- Navigate to the place on your filesystem to which you wish to export your
collection. Put it someplace easy to find, since you'll need to know the path
to your export later on. - Give your export a name in the "Save As" field.
- Click OK.
