You read papers, right? How do you store and organize them? I’m looking for advice on a workflow for annotating PDFs and syncing between devices.<\/p>\n
I’m striking out on iPad apps for organizing scholarly papers. Papers2 doesn’t pull annotated copies back<\/a>. Mendeley lite doesn’t even let me log in<\/a> ((In Mendeley v1.3.1 (build 19) when I enter my login details, the only option is ‘close’. After closing, Mendeley reports “Not logged in”. Yes, I’ve double-checked my password!)). Zotero, which has been my main reference manager for at least 5 years, doesn’t offer an iPad app.<\/p>\n For annotation, I like iAnnotatePDF and GoodReader (and I’m getting ready to try PDFExpert). What I don’t know is how to have manageable filenames, when the documents originate in another iPad app, instead of on the desktop.<\/p>\n The only ideas I have left involve either spending more time with filemanagers or relying on the synching inside the annotation tools.<\/p>\n Reference managers\/PDF managers:<\/p>\n Synching from annotation tools:<\/p>\n iAnnotate or GoodReader can “watch” folders.\u00a0Main challenge is going to be coming up with a sufficiently small collection of PDFs to sync back and forth to the iPad.<\/p>\n\n
