If this works we need to find a way to add new files to the metadata.db, so annotations can be linked to the file.

You were totally right
: the trouble was that we cannot use a shortcut for a pdf file until the metadata.db file has been created for the pdf file.
Hence, as you say, next I have to look at sqlite3 to find a way to add a pdf file to the metadata.db file (the one located in the same folder). Indeed, it would be much better to find a way to do it on the fly on the DR device; i.e., if you use a file shortcut for a pdf file without metadata.db then create the metadata.db file before opening the pdf file.
