Hi, A while ago there was a discussion on this list about a version of Bibdesk and/or Skim on the iPad. It doesn't seem like anything ever came of it, and the consensus at the time seems to have been that it's not likely to happen.
If not a full Bibdesk/Skim App, does anyone know of any App (or Applescript?) that would allow a user to: 1. select a smart or static group in Bibdesk; 2. copy a BibTex file for those items and any linked PDFs across to some App on the iPad; 3. read PDFs through the App (with no particular need to annotate them) using the BibTex information to find the article I'm looking for; and 4. (ideally) allow me to create new citations with links to PDFs that I'm reading on the iPad, and then to add these to Bibdesk when I get (although perhaps that's asking too much of the iPad). I know of a few iPad PDF readers out there (e.g. Goodreader) but without taking a bunch of extra steps it seems that these won't be able to use the information from my bibtex file to help me find an article - so I'd have to rely on filenames or my memory to tell me which PDF is which. Papers exists for the iPad, but I'd much rather use Bibdesk. A key feature (and the reason why this seemed on-topic for this list) is that it would be a simple matter to go from a bunch of items Bibdesk to reading them on the iPad once I get on the train. Or am I on a wild goose chase? Thanks for any feedback, Steven ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
