![]() On the next screen you can then pick which record to import, you can only import one record at a time: On the file dialog, select to import a text file, browse to your exported text file and select it. Once you have your Tab Delimited Text file, open your PDF form, and select Tools>Forms>More Form Options and click on Import: This is one of the export options in Excel (and other spread sheet applications) that is available after you select File>Save As: When you export your data file from Excel, you need to select the "Tab Delimited Text" format. In this sample, I took the first approach and used the field names as my column headers: You can either match the names that you are using in your PDF form, or you need to modify the field names in the PDF form so that they match the column names in Excel. The columns need to be named the same way as the field names in the PDF form. I could probably add the ability to convert the BibTeX to a formatted reference for any of the methods, but for now I'd suggest using BibDesk.Yes, but you there are two things you need to do in Excel for this to work: It's not something I ever use, but glad to hear its useful to you. ![]() The formatted reference feature was something I just added on at the end, because crossref happened to have an API for it. This is maybe not the most ideal usage for your setup because it requires an extra step, but it would be the easiest and most reliable way forward. But the benefit for your question, is that in BibDesk's preferences you can set the output to "apalike" and then you can select the publications you want and copy them as rich text. If you use BibDesk, you won't have to keep re-downloading references for ones you already used, and if you fix up a reference (sometimes data is not exactly correct) your corrections will be retained for future papers. It's free and open-source, and this workflow is designed to work well with BibDesk. Regarding the rich text formatting, I could probably add that also-thanks for the tip on that Stephen.įor your second question, my suggestion would be to use BibDesk ( ). The en-dash between the page numbers looks like something I may need to fix. Hi Katie, I'm glad to hear that you like the workflow! More detailed README and downloads on Github Edited Decemby andrewning Formerly this was a separate workflow but since it shares so much of the same code I've put it in here. Can import BibTeX and PDFs (AIAA subscription required for PDFs). ![]() ![]() AIAA Search - A search for papers from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.Reverse PDF Search - starting with a PDF on your computer you can use a keyboard shortcut or a File Action to scan the PDF for a DOI (or some relevant search terms if it can't find a DOI) and start a reference lookup search, It will then import the BibTeX and link the PDF in BibDesk.parsing improvements for the main CrossRef search.Google Scholar - get BibTeX and PDFs from Google Scholar.Google Books - can now get BibTeX for textbooks.in additional to getting the BibTeX it can auto download PDFs and link them to the BibDesk entry where possible.I've just pushed a major update to GitHub (and changed the name of the workflow). Update : another unicode fix, this one for google books Edited Apby andrewning Update : improvement to DOI parsing from PDF text more details in comments below and in README Update : major update including improved parsing, getting PDFs in addition to BibTeX, Google Books, Google Scholar, reverse PDF lookup. Update : fix due to slight change of API also removed default cite-key so that BibDesk can populate citekey with user defined style. Update : added conversion of non-latin characters to proper LaTeX. (follow link to GitHub for a more detailed README and download) (This workflow was formerly known as "Citation Search" and "AIAA Search") Also supports reference lookup from a PDF file. Reference Importer: search for an article/book from a variety of sources and import the corresponding reference data (BibTex, PDF) into BibDesk, copy BibTeX to clipboard, go to the landing page for the article, or copy a formatted reference.
