I want to write a python script that will process a large number of PDF files, extract the relevant information like DOI, etc and create a bibtex archive so I can use BibDesk. I understand that the path to the PDF is stored in the bdsk-file-1 and I was able to decode it with the python code discussed at https://inkdroid.org/2020/09/03/bibdesk-and-zotero/ The decoded plist has the field: 'relativePath', 'aliasData' where relativePath is obviously the relative path to the PDF file. I'm wondering if I should create the aliasData field and what should I put there. I hope that it's clear what I want to do: to create a bibtex file that BibDesk will be able to read and work on starting from a large number of PDF files. I see this for the most part a one time operation just to avoid the manual creation of thousands of entries with BibDesk. I'm planning to post the code to github when this project is completed.
Thanks much, -Arrigo
