Zotero Website Snapshot to PDF

This is the complementary repository to my blog post.

Disclaimer and development state

Remember to back-up your Zotero Folder. This script is not in a production-ready state, and has only been in use on MacOS and Linux.

Use it at your own risk!

Currently, it queries only the first 100 sources with snapshots and uploads duplicates, if the script has been run before.

Prerequisites

  1. Back-up your Zotero folder
  2. Copy over config.example.toml to config.toml and update it with the corresponding data
  3. Create a Virtual Environment (optional) and activate it
  4. Run pip install -r requirements.txt
  5. Ensure, Google Chrome is installed and available on the path given in the configuration file

Running the Script

Run python convert_pdfs.py

To Do

  • [ ] ensure chrome is installed on the system
  • [ ] install it as a service, re-run on library changes
  • [ ] create tmpdir using python libraries
  • [ ] skip, if there is already a PDF present
