Importing PDFs


It is possibly a little known fact, but you can import PDFs into you Endnote library and, in some cases, Endnote can get the bibliographical detail from the headers in the PDF.

It has to be said that this will only work with reasonably recent PDFs.

To import, choose File | Import | File from Endnote.



The Import File dialog is shown.



Click on Choose… to select the PDF of interest, and make sure you have PDF selected in the Import Option drop down menu.


Click on Import.

A number of windows might appear as Endnote imports and analyses the file. The item should then appear in your Imported References group, with the PDF attached.
