How to Import Papers (Mekentosj) Notes to Evernote?

[DVS1 0]

Hi all,

 

I use Papers (i.e., the app Papers2 by Mekentosj) for reading, annotating, and making notes on papers. 

 

I use EverNote to organize all notes from papers and other sources.

 

One key functionality that I am missing (or do not know how to do it) is how to get notes from Papers into EverNote.

 

I have tried the File>Export>Notes function in Papers. However, all the export formats merge the different notes into a single note. If I drop the export file into EverNote, my 50 (or whatever) number of notes has become just one big note in EverNote. I cannot use it like this because the different notes present different thoughts that I would like to use in different contexts.

 

How can I make it that my 50 notes from Papers remain 50 notes in EverNote? (without copying one by one, of course)

 

Greatly appreciate your ideas / support!

 

Daniel

It sounds like you may have to go one at a time.... I have only spent a little time with papers (using Zotero full time now) so I don't have a ton of experience with it.

You may consider posting in a Papers community too!

I know they even with Zotero, to do something similar to what you want with papers, you have to export one at a time if you want SEPARATE files.

Can you export to a csv format?  You might then be able to use a WP mail-merge function to generate separate 'letter' files that can be saved to a folder,  then do an Import Folder style conversion into Evernote notes.
