This version of JabRef is portable and resides on my flash drive. The original PDF still have no bib data so JabRef didn’t write it there. I imported the PDF with a drag and drop method with the Copy mode. I’m still trying that, but I don’t know where JabRef puts the altered PDF. (See Sustainable Research… Part II by Saul Albert, later on the web page.) However, PDFs do not usually contain their bib data, and only JabRef can write it into the PDF. Click the button corresponding to the type of processor your Mac has. I want to see if Docear can read that bib data through the symlink. Open a web browser and navigate the Docker Desktop for Mac install page. My real objective is to create a symlink to a PDF that has been altered to hold its own bib data. The change in file name results in exactly “-,pdf”.Not something you want to see happen in my all-PDF folder (not part of Docear or JabRef). Sending me to different sections is fine, but don’t assume that I haven’t read them. The incomplete sections leave little confidence that the help files are current. Does it also contain files? What is in the database that is often referred to in other sections? The Getting Started section states what to do, but doesn’t explain very much. For a quick run-up, its a lot of unknowns. If there were more blank ones, which is mine? And where did the file go if I didn’t specify any directories. But how can I tell if it worked at all? The two entries I created are blank. The help info on import seems to require two existing 'entry’s in order for the import to work. And why does Move or Copy notes change with where I position the dragging PDF icon on the screen? This requires a sudden critical decision for a new user. ![]() Docear (pronounced dog-ear) is what we call an academic literature suite. If you need help If you're having difficulty getting the links to work, try again using Safari. ![]() Follow the onscreen instructions to install macOS. ![]() Note: no mention of drag and drop keys and this is the only software that I have ever seen have this ‘feature’. Major software download sites, there are a number of OSX Mac software sites. Open your Applications folder and double-click the macOS installer, named Install Version Name. JabRef will then analyze the PDF and create a new entry. The section you pointed me to contains this: For one PDF file The simplest way to create a new entry based on a PDF file is to drag & drop the file onto the table of entries (between two existing entries). The point was to get JabRef to find the bib info on its own because only it can write the info into the PDF file.
