Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone is using software to organize their PDFs. I'm currently using papers, but I've found I'm not so happy with it as I was. Ideally I want a program that will make it really easy to categorize PDFs as I'm downloading them, interface well with pubmed, and create citations.

What I don't like about papers is to make a citation, you have to first reference it (basically, create a footnote). What I'd like to be able to do is basically right click on a pdf and be able to select from a menu to create the citation to be pasted into whatever I'm working on -whether an email, ppt, etc.
I also don't think papers interfaces all that well with pubmed.

What I do like about papers is it's ability to search every pdf's content by keyword. That has been super awesome.

EndNote
 
endnote is expensive unless your university pays for it. try zotero - you can sync across computers and collaborate with others. i think its better and its free.
