How do I attach a pdf or other file to an EndNote reference?
If you already have the reference in your EndNote library, the easiest way to do this is: • First save the file (eg to your Desktop – it doesn’t really matter where) • Then drag the icon of the saved file onto the reference in your EndNote library. • You can attach more than one file to a reference in this way, and the files can be any format, not just PDF (eg Word documents, images etc). You will now see a paperclip symbol in your reference library, just to the left of the Author of the reference. This indicates that the reference has an attached file. If you don’t yet have the reference in your library, EndNote X4 (but not earlier versions) allows you to import it from a saved PDF file: • First save the PDF file – anywhere you like, but perhaps into a folder containing other PDF files. • If using Windows, click on File, Import, then click on File… or Folder… depending on whether you wish to import a single PDF or a folder of PDFs. Select the individual file or folder, set Import
