Obviously, manually adding every PDF from a large EndNote library would be rather labor intensive. There is a trick to automating it, though. | Obviously, manually adding every PDF from a large EndNote library would be rather labor intensive. There is a trick to automating it, though. |

Explanation: The previous sed statement did not work for me, as it removes the subdirectory contained in the RIS file exported by Endnote, resulting in [base-pdf-dir]/[filename.pdf]. However, to find the PDF [base-pdf-dir]/[subdir_named_by_endnote]/[filename.pdf] is neccessary. | Explanation: The previous sed statement did not work for me, as it removes the subdirectory contained in the RIS file exported by Endnote, resulting in [base-pdf-dir]/[filename.pdf].

Example: Your Endnote library called Literatur (i. e. Literatur.enl and Literatur.Data), and the exported RIS file Literatur.txt are located at H:\EndnoteTest. Run <code>sed -e 's/internal-pdf:\/\//file:\/\/H:\/EndnoteTest\/Literatur.Data\/PDF\//g' Literatur.txt > Literatur_2zotero.ris</code> The resulting file Literatur_2zotero.ris can be imported in zotero (in my case it threw some error messages about pdf-to-text, didn't worry about it worked anyway). | Example: Your Endnote library called Literatur (i. e.
