Arxiv.org is the server which contains papers in pdf format and short abstract for each of them (for example, we have abstract here [1] and the corresponding pdf file here [2]). There is another website, inspirehep.net, which collects the bibtex records (and much more information) of these papers (see [3] for the bibtex record for cited paper). I wrote a python script which downloads the bibtex record and put it in the file, say, ref.bib. Then it downloads the paper itself (the pdf), and renames it according to the citation key as in the ref.bib. So mentioned paper will be renamed as Maldacena:1997re.pdf. Then I want to setup an org file (say, ref.org), which will contain each paper as a bibtex record, generally, as org-bibtex is doing, but with the links to the pdf file. So all the desired workflow should look like this: 1) read the paper on the arxiv.org; 2) download the paper and bibtex record using the python script (it can be launched by pressing the button); 3) in the same time fire up the emacs window with opened ref.org and capture there bibtex record with some link to the pdf file. So, the question is: how it can be achieved? For the moment I came up with the additional field in the bibtex record, named "file" with the link to the pdf file which is understandable by org-mode (so it's something like this: file = "[[~/ref/Maldacena:1997re.pdf]]"). But how can I use org-bibtex with the org-capture automatically?
