Exporting Bookends to Endnote

[behzad]

Hi folks,
New to bookends. My colleagues use Endnote. Is there a way to export my Bookends Library (with pdfs) to an Endnote library so that I can share the Endnote library with my colleagues?
Would appreciate any help and suggestions.

You can mark all your references and File -> Export References (Hits) -> EndNote XML.

The attachments pathnames will be in the XML file.

Thanks and I purchased the software over the weekend and installed it. Trying to do what you suggested. However, the Export References (Hits) is grayed out. Any suggestions?
Running Sierra 10.12.6 and your latest version.

You have to mark the references you want to export. There are many ways to do that (including simply clicking on the checkbox).

Thanks. I got it. I was selecting all, but not checking the boxes. Much appreciated.

Doesn’t work for me. I selected all 114 references in a smart group, did “Mark All References” from the menu, all these 114 show the checkmark and appear in the “Hits” group, but “Export References (Hits)…” is still greyed out. What gives?

I don't know. Try Rebuilding the library.
