Upgrade StorageCollecting data from file documents
Dear Zotero users,
I would like to get some suggestion of how to collect data from some thousand files in a format Zotero can read.
A possible solution is perhaps to let an index tool search through the files and collect that little structured data there are, perhaps mostly titles. And then export data from the database in the index tool.
I would be glad for practical suggestions how to do something like this.

beoglI am not sure, but I guess there might be both ms-word files and pdf (and maybe also other word processor formats). There are both academic articles and essays.
