Hi John,
Its now working, it turns out the version of pdftotext that I was using wasn’t working well. I found different version (http://macappstore.org/pdftotext/ <http://macappstore.org/pdftotext/>) that did the trick

cheers,
M

If none is found, you get the message you noted. The url dnd works similarly, but there are a bunch of recipes for what to match depending on the base of the url.

I tried it pdf you used  in your video (Examples of Effective Data Sharing in Scientific Publishing), but I got the same error. Dragging the url to the bibtex file also doesn’t works for me.
