Folks- I've hacked together an AppleScript today to use ExifTool (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool ) to read XMP-bibtex data from PDFs written out by JabRef. There's been discussion before about whether there's a solution for reading or writing XMP metadata from PDFs; part of the problem has been the lack of a utility to do so. I'm throwing this out there for discussion.
http://people.reed.edu/~ahm/Projects/Citation/BibDesk/PDFReadXMP-bibtex.scpt Note that ExifTool cannot write XMP-bibtex without a custom .ExifTool_config file, but it looks like it would be possible to write such a config-file: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/config.html -AHM ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
