Why isn't VT up-to-date? Go to developer's site for current download.

Version 6 is in Beta. With that paid upgrade, there will be better access to your linked pdfs when you sync between multiple computers. (Sente allows up to 3 computers on 1 license for the mobile student/researcher). Great app!

With this app and Adobe Acrobat Pro, I can find just about anything I need for my research. I make sure all downloaded, associated, linked pdfs are ocr'ed via Acrobat. I can do a search within my entire library in Sente, or specific collections. From the identified citations, I can then open up the pdf(s) and search individually, or within a folder of pdfs, for specific terms/phrases within the pdf articles. Sente inserts the citation in your document where you specify, using the format you specify--such as APA 5. If you cut and paste and move stuff around in your article, it will automatically refresh so the format of the citation is correct. When the paper is complete, I “refresh” Sente once from the menu and then turn refresh off. I double check any specific page references made it through the refresh. I scroll down to the designated place in my paper for references and choose “insert bibliography.” It cranks it out. What a timesaver!

It is possible to currently sync among your computers, there is just a two step process you need to know to do it correctly so that you can open pdfs in the other computers. See the forums on the site, or contact the developer. Very helpful person.

I export my citations from my research library via the Endnote format, but several others possible, and then import into my collection(s). Everything comes through.

BTW, discounted price for students... As a doctoral student I paid $69. Check out the price for Endnote for PC.... $250. And Sente if a better program to boot.
