Hi all

I´d like to bring to light the PubMedPDF module.

Anyone use it? I f so, could you please point me out a good example/tutorial.

I can´t find the developer and it looks kind of abandonware.

One of the features that i´d love to see in that mod is the possibility of sort and categorize a bunch of pdf files dropped on a directory. I guees it uses some kind of pdf metadata but i must confess i´m a bit confused on using it.

Any light will be really appreciated

Thank you all

I'm affraid this is a very specialized module with a narrow user base. Check this out!

If you think just out of box Yes I must agree with you, the mod was built to pull medical pdf´s from the PubMed database, but looking a bit deeply on the mod´s features makes me wonder:

Quote:
Automatically generates the paper information

You only have to do upload the PDF with PMID. This module automatically access PubMed database and pull out its information.

You can register any paper

You can register the paper which doesn't have PMID by inputting its information.
Various functions

We implemented various functions such as Bookmark func, Search PubMed database func, Search local database func, Note func, Generating Bibliography list func and so on.


Maybe with some tweaks we could adapt the mod to manage a pdf local categorized collection.

For instance: you just drop a bunch of pdf´s with all the metadata needed and the mod automaticaly pull title, author, etc etc...

It would be great, dont you think?

@sailjapan

Wondering if you as a japanese native speaker (?) could get some fresh news from the japanese community or from the developer

Re: PubMedPDF maybe a forgotten mod?

Actually I'm a native English speaking resident here, but yes, I could contact the authors. What would be good to know, though? It's GPL so I dare say the thing to do would be to find devs in the XOOPS community interested in manipulating the code into becoming a module we could use for purposes other than medical ones...

I absolutely agree with you.
I don´t know about you but I guess that mod could be very useful as a pdf collection manager, don´t you think?
