Description (last modified by karnesky)
Many programs give links to PDFs in their BibTeX export. Unfortunately, it is highly non-standard. We only support:
Old JabRef
pdf={/full/path/to/file.pdf}
but the full path is sometimes prefixed by the protocol (Zotero assumes that it is absent & prepends 'file://'). Further, it is often stored in other fields:
Sente:
sentelink = {file://localhost/full/path/to/file.pdf,Sente,PDF}
New JabRef:
file = {Description of the file:/full/path/to/file.pdf:PDF}
(Mendeley apparently uses a similar syntax; it is unclear if they use the description field & whether the case of the ':PDF' suffix matters to either program.)
and probably many others.
