Bookends (on my Mac) still asks me to enter my computer password (for iCloud access, seemingly) every time I run it. I will try the instructions on the FAQ.

Thanks for the reply. The function through the toolbar (Email) does work. Double clicking the proxy icon opens the PDF correctly in the default viewer. But, even after checking the privacy section and ensuring full disk and folder access is allowed, I still cannot drag and drop. Strange. Any other t...

Hello, I have a reference that has a PDF. Said PDF displays normally in Bookends and opens in external viewer normally, too. PDFs are stored in iCloud folder for iOS sync. But, if I drag the PDF proxy icon from Bookends to a new email, the file shows up with a size of 0 kb. If I instead open the PDF...

(Reproducible on my iPhone and my iPad.) When I have a PDF in safari, and I use the share extension (arrow pointing up in safari toolbar) to “Copy to Bookends”, the first time I click Copy to Bookends it opens Bookends but the software doesn’t realize anything was passed to it. So, I go right back t...

I used this new feature yesterday. Very helpful. Thanks for adding it.

Agree adding shortcuts support would be huge. Many of my colleagues would probably adopt Bookends in this case.

Thank you for the reply! That will be a great addition!

Shall I just assume this is simply not possible with the software?

Hello, In Bookends on the iPad, I am trying to send multiple papers’ citations, their Abstracts, and their attachments, as an email. I can select multiple papers no problem. I then tap on the share sheet and select Mail, but the attachments do not show up. The rest of the required information does s...

Thank you for fixing this. I downloaded the latest Update and seems to be OK once the library has been deleted and then replace with the Cloud version.

Thank you.

Screenshot sent.

I did as instructed and the same error came up.

Hello, after months of no-problem usage, I ran into an iCloud sync issue recently where I get the error message: “Error saving record to server, record to insert already exists.”

I am given the option of continuing or suspending.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!

Serge - THANK YOU. It was not apparent to me at all that autofill from internet would use different sources. I thought it was limited to just the attachment. That makes things a lot better. Appreciate the reply.

I have the same problem as number 1 above. I often get “orphaned” PDFs in Bookends for iOS that I have added using a share extension from Safari. I then obtain the correct DOI but I cannot see how to “quick add” the metadata for an existing PDF based on DOI. I have tried “autofill from Internet”, bu...

Thanks for the reply.
