Hi,
firstly I must addmitt that I'm a tellico fan, so probably my opinion have
some kind of biased.
Tellico can manage very well bibliography and export to bibtex, important
feature. Also, it could retrieve information from different internet places,
so, fill a database with a bunch of books is not difficult. You can have a
collection of books, and create a bib file from there, Or you can have a
collections references.
In the last version, tellico is compiled against the libpoppler library, so it
could retrieve information from a pdf file. I have tested (after read the
thread) to import a pdf file to a bibliography database and it adds it
filling the typical fields. But, and it's an important but, the pdf must be
created filling this, if not, tellico cannot obtain the information.
Regards,
Leo
