Extract References/Citations from PDF

librarygeekadam

Is there a way when you have a research article as a PDF in Zotero to get it to just automatically extract the references from that PDF, creating a new item in Zotero? See, when I'm doing research, I usually try and index most of the references/citations that article I'm currently in used so I can refer to them later and build up a larger citation library to search through when I need something. Instead of manually adding them, one at a time, is there a way (plugin maybe?) that I can just have Zotero do it? Even just highlighting and clicking an option to export citation from PDF to Zotero would be great. Thanks!

Nothing like this is currently built in, but we hope to offer ways to do this in the future.
