Creating Bookends References from Word reference list

Is it possible to take a Word or PDF document that has a bibliography within it, extract all those references into Bookends as new references for the database?
Is there a way to automate this?
Has anyone done this?
thanks, Frederick

If the references have DOIs, probably yes.
See the User Guide for "Import From Existing Bibliography" on p. 334 for how this is done.

Parse the plain list using
https://anystyle.io:
and import the structured reference to Bookends.
That is what I do when I have a list of unformatted references anyways.
