How to automatically embed hyperlinks into citations and bibliographical entries of a downloaded PDF document! Part II

How to create the dictionaries

Firstly your ebooks and epapers should be inside inside a DevonThink database. Moreover each source should have its respective record in BibDesk. The "local URL" field of each record should have the DevonThink URL of the source. If you do not know how to do this you can read my post "How to connect a PDF file inside DevonThink with its record in BibDesk". Finally you should select the records in BibDesk which will constitute the records of the dictionary and you should have one TextMate txt file open. Now you are ready to execute either the AppleScript for the creation of the link dictionary with the titles or for the second kind of dictionary.

The AppleScript code for the link dictionary with the titles is the following:

--2011-03-11
--http://organognosi.blogspot.com

--Works with AutoBookmark 3.7

tell application "BibDesk"
    set these_items to the selection of document 1
    if these_items is {} then error "Please select some contents."
       
    repeat with this_item in these_items
        set DevonThinkLink to the linked URL 1 of this_item
        set PDfTitle to the value of the field "Title" of this_item
        set keywords of this_item to keywords of this_item & "," & " title link"
        set DictionaryLinkEntry to PDfTitle & tab & "uri:" & DevonThinkLink & "
"
        tell application "TextMate"
            activate
            insert DictionaryLinkEntry
        end tell
    end repeat
end tell

A sample from the text which can be created is shown below:

The AppleScript code for the link dictionary with author-year compinations is the following:

tell application "BibDesk"
    set these_items to the selection of document 1
    if these_items is {} then error "Please select some contents."
   
    repeat with this_item in these_items
        try
            set AuthorLink to the last name of the first author of this_item
            set firstNameLink to the first name of the first author of this_item
            set AbbrNormName to abbreviated normalized name of the first author of this_item
           
            set YearLink to the publication year of this_item
            set DevonThinkLink1 to the linked URL 1 of this_item
            set DictionaryLinkEntry to AuthorLink & " " & YearLink & tab & "uri:" & DevonThinkLink1 & "
"
            set DictionaryLinkEntry2 to AuthorLink & " (" & YearLink & tab & "uri:" & DevonThinkLink1 & "
"
            set DictionaryLinkEntry3 to AuthorLink & " [" & YearLink & tab & "uri:" & DevonThinkLink1 & "
"
            set DictionaryLinkEntry4 to AuthorLink & ", " & firstNameLink & " (" & YearLink & tab & "uri:" & DevonThinkLink1 & "
"
            set DictionaryLinkEntry5 to AbbrNormName & " " & YearLink & tab & "uri:" & DevonThinkLink1 & "
"
            set DictionaryLinkEntry6 to AbbrNormName & " (" & YearLink & tab & "uri:" & DevonThinkLink1 & "
"
           
            tell application "TextMate"
                activate
                insert DictionaryLinkEntry
                insert DictionaryLinkEntry2
                insert DictionaryLinkEntry3
                insert DictionaryLinkEntry4
                insert DictionaryLinkEntry5
                insert DictionaryLinkEntry6
            end tell
        end try
    end repeat
end tell

Now you are ready to go to Adobe Acrobat Pro and use the AutoBookmark plug-in. In the following screen shots you can see the detailed steps in order to create the new dictionaries.
