11 | #+END_html 12 | 13 | * Some BibDesk Apple Scripts 14 | 15 | ** bibfetch.pl.scpt 16 | 17 | This script does the following: 18 | 1) For each selected BibDesk publication 19 | 2) Passes the DOI if available or the quoted Title if no DOI to bibfetch.pl 20 | 3) Parses the results of bibfetch.pl for the URL of the PDF 21 | 4) Uses curl to download the PDF 22 | 5) Attaches the PDF to the publication 23 | 6) Auto-files the PDF 24 | 25 | ** pdfmeat.py.scpt 26 | 27 | This version takes one or more selected BibDesk records and fills in 28 | missing information using Google Scholar search. If a DOI or title 29 | exists in the record, it searches Google Scholar with pdfmeat.py. If a 30 | PDF exists and no title, it uses pdfmeat to parse the PDF and then 31 | searches Google Scholar. 32 | 33 | Various fields returned by the search are filled in to each existing 34 | record. Nothing is overwritten. 35 | 36 | 37 | ** Installation 38 | 39 | *** BibFetch 40 | 41 | 1. Install [[https://github.com/mankoff/bibfetch][bibfetch.pl]] (my version) by downloading and putting 42 | somewhere, for example =~/bin= or =~/local/bibfetch/= 43 | 2. Run it with =/path/to/bibfetch.pl --pdf --doi DOI= or 44 | =/path/to/bibfetch.pl --pdf "Title of Paper"=. It will probably 45 | crash, with an error message, at the top mentioning missing 46 | packages. 47 | 3. Install all of the dependencies it needs by typing something 48 | similar to the following at the shell prompt: 49 | #+BEGIN_SRC perl 50 | cpan install App::cpanminus 51 | # and then 52 | cpanm Foo::Bar 53 | #+END_SRC 54 | You might need to use "sudo" before cpan and cpanm 55 | 56 | 4. When step (2) above works (a BibTeX record and link to PDF file 57 | is returned), you know bibfetch.pl is working 58 | 59 | 5. Put the =Bibfetch.pl.scp= in =~/Library/Application 60 | Support/BibDesk/Scripts= 61 | 62 | 6. Edit it, customizing the path at the top to where your 63 | =bibfetch.pl= script is located. 64 | 65 | 7. Test it from within BibDesk. 66 | 67 | 8. Assign a shortcut key to run it easily from the keyboard. 68 | 69 | *** pdfmeat 70 | 71 | 1. Install [[https://github.com/mankoff/pdfmeat][pdfmeat]] (my version) by downloading and putting 72 | somewhere, for example =~/bin= or =~/local/pdfmeat/= 73 | 2. Run it with =/path/to/pdfmeat.py --PDF /path/to/PDF=. It will 74 | probably crash, with an error message, at the top mentioning 75 | failed import statement 76 | 3. Install all of the dependencies it needs by typing something 77 | similar to the following at the shell prompt: 78 | #+BEGIN_SRC python 79 | pip install foo 80 | # or 81 | easy_install foo 82 | #+END_SRC 83 | You might need to use "sudo" before =pip= or =easy_install= 84 | 4. pdfmeat makes use of cookies to access Google Scholar, so you 85 | need to launch FireFox once, go to Google Scholar, and set 86 | preferences so that BibTeX records are returned when you search 87 | on Google Scholar. 88 | 5. When step (2) above works (a BibTeX record is returned), 89 | you know pdfmeat.py is working 90 | 91 | 6. Put the =pdfmeat.py.scp= in =~/Library/Application 92 | Support/BibDesk/Scripts= 93 | 94 | 7. Edit it, customizing the path at the top to where your 95 | =pdfmeat.py= script is located. 96 | 97 | 8. Test it from within BibDesk. 98 | 99 | 9. Assign a shortcut key to run it easily from the keyboard. 100 | 101 | **** Troubleshooting 102 | 103 | If you search too often, Google Scholar will think you are a robot. In 104 | this case pdfmeat will return strange errors. Log in with FireFox and 105 | enter the CAPTCHA to convince Google Scholar you are human, and then 106 | remove the ".pdfmeat*" files in =/tmp/=. 107 | 108 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
