Import Pdf via Terminal

Would it be possible to add a new entry in form of a pdf via terminal? And extract all the information from the pdf, as it is already the case in the gui.

Hi,

Indeed that could be useful. I will try to prepare an issue for this

@juhorsch Well that is already possible with the pdfcontent and the pdfmetadatamerger The latter will try to combine various pdfs importers and will try to fetch additional metadata.

Running jabref from cli with -h will list all import and export formatters available.

An example would be:

..../JabRef  -i "path/to/my.pdf",pdfcontent 

See for details
