Importing from my own database of PDFs

EndNote EndNote Styles, Filters, and Connections

Hi,

I just got endnote and I have folders on my desktop with loads of articles in them, and I am wondering if I can import them into endnote without much trouble. I wonder if endnote can “read” into them and take the references itself, or if I’m going to have to enter manually all the references myself. I also have other references in some excel sheets. 

Thanks!

Clem.

Thanks a lot Leanne!

You have just answered my question too.

Can you tell me whether EndNote X4 can recognize - and let me know-  whether a PDF has been OCRed or not?

I have just imported several hundreds of PDFs and about half of them were parsed just fine - except for abstract, keywords and url (and perhaps a few other less important fields). The earliest are from year 2000 while there are some from 2006 that were importated just with file title and attached PDF.

Don’t know what it means exactly.

Thank you!
