Hi Andrea,

EP 3.1 will import full-texts from the <url> field in XML. There are two
options that allow importing from the file system and Web respectively:

--enable-file-imports
--enable-web-imports

You can set these in your EP configuration but that will enable it
everywhere in EPrints (so anyone using the Import screen can also import
fulltexts):

$c->{enable_file_imports} = 1;
$c->{enable_web_imports} = 1;

These options aren't very well developed yet - generally speaking you
wouldn't want to allow EPrints users to get any file from your server or
any document from the Web.

NB when importing from the file system use URLs like this:
file:/path/to/file.pdf

I'm not aware of anyone who has developed a simple process for importing
fulltexts from pubmed.

All the best,
Tim.
