It may work - my advice is just be very wary with a new conversion path at first - I've been a couple of hundred pages into a text that I have heavily annotated when it blows up Great advice. I tried the PDFExpert converter, and it seemed to work smoothly. But I'll have to see what happens with ann...

Oh, I've used PDFExpert in the past. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks!

And converters don't always leave a good machine-readable file. My workflow, providing the epub is DRM-free, is to use the Calibre converter epub > Word .docx. The .docx file will then be in the same folder as the original epub file. Then do Adobe Acrobat (paid version. Others?) > Open, ... Thanks ...

Howdy, Wow, that'd be awesome. There's no love lost between me and ePubs, but several presses leave me with that as the only non-pirated option. And converters don't always leave a good machine-readable file. So any supports for working with the original ePubs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fo...

Howdy, I understand. I just thought the "Open PDF in..." might actually be abstracted to "Open [attached file type] in...", and then it could pipe in the options from the system's "Open with...", which also populates the menu with any applications able to open the assoc...

Also, in the split-pane attachment view, the 1st element in the gear-icon menu says "Open PDF with >..." and populates a menu with the user's apps for handling PDFs. Having that same kind of menu for ePubs would be incredibly helpful.

Peace out,

Howdy, That makes sense. I'd be curious whether it's really the case that few users add ebooks, since a lot of university library subscriptions to publishers allow for download of complete ebooks now. But I can understand that ePub itself would still only have small demand. I'd definitely be up for ...

Howdy y'all, I get the reasons here for not going through the hassle of incorporating a full-on ePub viewer within Bookends. But, much to my consternation, :-P the format seems to be persisting and even getting more entrenched (e.g. even Springer publishes papers and books for download as PDF or ePu...

OK. Perfect. Thanks.

OK, let me see if I understand correctly. Say I have Type, Title, and Authors all selected (but only those three) in the Summary preference panel. Then I put "¬" in the After cell. Does that mean that a return will appear after each of Type, Title, and Authors (i.e. Type¬Title¬Authors¬)? O...

Hmm... OK. I tried restoring the defaults again. No change. I tried adding a return by inserting the "¬" character, but that only added a return after the word "Book" showing the reference type. All the other information was strung together without a return or other spacing. Just...

Howdy Jon, Yes, that helped! But only to a point. The formatting is off... there's no break between fields. All the data is just dumped together into the Summary view. But as an update, even before clicking the Restore button, I noticed this problem only applied to the Books category. The Journal Ar...

Howdy y'all, I just updated to version 14.0.4. I love the updated interface for the Reference pane in the side bar. But when I click on the Summary pane beside it and the Note Stream, the Summary pane is completely blank. This is true for both existing and newly created references. In my Preferences...

Howdy, Sorry for the long delay, but with all the iOS and macOS updates, I was waiting to see if the problem got solved by itself. Evidently not... I've tried rebooting and everything else short of logging out of iCloud. If I do the latter on my Mac, it makes a local copy that eats up my hard drive,...

Howdy, This is just to give an update on behavior. When I tried to access the newest PDF I attached to a reference via the attachment button in Bookends for iOS, I couldn't pull down the file to the device. I checked in the iOS Files app and it wasn't there. This was around 10pm. This morning I logg...
