PaperFetch

PaperFetch is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you download documents from the PubMeb website where you can find a wide range of biomedical topics.

Portable running mode

This is a portable tool which can be kept on USB flash drives or other devices so you can carry it with you all the time. Gaining access to its features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no setup included in the process. Although it is portable, the utility leaves entries to your Windows registry so you need to uninstall it with the aid of dedicated cleaners to get rid of leftover items.

Clean feature lineup

You are welcomed by a straightforward layout that embeds only a few configuration settings. There’s support for an online help manual that presents succinct descriptions about the program’s capabilities.

Downloading options

PaperFetch gives you the possibility to download information by entering the ID of the article from the PubMed database. In addition, you may paste the ID from the clipboard directly in the main window.
By default, the application downloads the articles in a preset location, called ‘Papers.’ You can change the saving directory by specifying a custom location from your computer. The program automatically creates a separate folder for each day, making it easier for you to organize the citations by date.
Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to retry the downloading process, set up file naming rules, as well as configure proxy connections. In addition, the tool is able to save the documents to PDF file format and download supplementary files for some supported journals.

Final words

All things considered, PaperFetch offers support for several basic features for helping you download biomedical information for offline reading, and can be configured by rookies and professionals alike.
