Use the bookmarklet to import papers from your web browser to Papers

The Papers bookmarklet is a small JavaScript bookmark that you can install in your favorite web browser. It allows you to open your current web page in Papers, creating a seamless experience between browsing the web and collecting your papers.

#Installing the bookmarklet:

##Step 1 | Open this webpage in your favorite web browser

Copy (right click and select 'copy') and paste the following link into your web browser (unless you're already in your browser) http://support.mekentosj.com/kb/how-to/use-the-bookmarklet-to-easil...

##Step 2 | Drag the link below "Open in Papers" to your browser's bookmark bar

Open in Papers

##Step 3 | Using the bookmarklet

With the bookmarklet installed in your bookmark bar you can now browse to any webpage you like and hit the bookmarklet to open the same page in Papers. Try it now...

Important: due to a limitation in Safari, the bookmarklet does not work if you use it once the PDF has already been loaded. Instead you should use the bookmarklet on the page before that contains the link to the PDF. Click the link to the PDF once the page has been opened in Papers. As an added benefit Papers2 will often collect metadata for that PDF automatically from the publisher's website.

The Papers bookmarklet currently works with Safari and Firefox
