Dear JabRef developers,

I like the PDF importing feature very much. Recently, I found out another competitive software called Qiqqa (http://www.qiqqa.com/About/Features) which can recognize information in a scanned PDF using OCR tech. I wish JabRef can also do this job: using integrated OCR to extract metadata information (including title, authors, journal, references and so on) and generate bibtex automatically!

With this feature enabled, Jabref can do something more: analyze references a paper cites, do mind mapping using extracted information, extract bibtex information through google scholar automatically, discover new papers to read automatically online, analyze the trend of specific tag usage in literature and so on... I may request those features seperately.

Thanks!
Xiaodong

Regarding the first paragraph: JabRef already does this. "Import PDF based on content"

Regarding the second paragarph: nice idea. Maybe someone starts implementing it.
