Integrate Zotero pdf notes with org roam
An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

Org-roam, zotero, and org-noter workflow for scientific research and citations (+bibtex)?
Periodically, I go through the pdfs I've read (I have a collection in Zotero for the stuff I am in the process of reading) and I use org-noter-pdftools (see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools ; this is different from, and extends and depends on, org-noter which, by the way, has recently got new maintainers) to extract all annotations in the pdf to a note that is associated to each pdf. One to one mapping here: one pdf file - one .org file for notes. These notes are basically just org(-roam) files that store the annotations for easy searching (see below) and to allow my linking to specific, individual, highlights (or text annotations). I think that initially setting everything up to my satisfaction was a little bit confusing (e.g., the names of some functions I think are the same between org-noter and org-noter-pdftools and sometimes it was unclear to me the differences in functionality between the two packages); but now it works flawlessly. From org-noter-pdftools I specially like how easy it is to get all the highlights, text annotations, etc (not manual scribbling, of course, and see also below for "typewritter" annotations) into an org-roam note that links directly to the exact location in the pdf.

Share your workflows for highlighting books - roam compatible epub reader with highlighting? nov.el / ereader
Check out my screencast on org-noter. I don't think anything else comes close to this kind of workflow. Unfortunately it's not production ready yet. There's a related project org-noter--pdftools, I don't recall what it's state is.

Not being able to install and use pdf-tools or anything related to org-pdf
First I tried config from here - https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/19686/how-to-use-pdf-tools-pdf-view-mode-in-emacs but the package in unmaintained, so I used https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools

Org-roam: find "linkable" text in node
I regularly paste text from other sources (e.g. a bit of Wikipedia text for a stub note, or highlighted text from a PDF via org-noter) into my notes and what I am looking for is a way to find/indicate existing org-roam entries in those pieces of text.

Is orgmode really that much better than an equivalent workflow using vim + other tools?
So right now I am having to go through tons of reading material. I'm taking an abundance of notes, etc. I'm trying to prep for an exam. I need to read multiple books, and I just started with the first one. I opened PDF-tools and then, using Org-noter I started taking notes. Each note is like an annotation in the book, tied to its specific location. Next time when I go through my notes, I can jump to the specific page in the book. And vice-versa - while re-reading through the book, I can see all related notes, right there in the adjacent window.

How do you use org-noter?
First, make sure that you are using this repo, instead of the other one which is unmantained for a couple years. It includes a lot of fixes and new features that with luck might fix your issues.
