Then I must be doing something wrong. My bib file has 6300+ entries, almost all
linked to pdfs (or djvus) using BibDesk's old "Local-Url" way. After adding it
to PocketBib Documents via iTunes, it displays on the iPad just fine, but none
of the entries has a pdf icon. I guess this should fall under "you can fix it
when it doesn't (just work)", but how do I proceed?
Following are two sample entries showing how my pdfs are filed. Thanks ahead!
