Extract text from EndNote filters (ENF)
To convert ENF filters to another format, you need EndNote or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Citation & Notation" file type, you need software like EndNote or a similar tool.
The .ENF extension is shared by three distinct file formats, creating a common source of confusion. Most frequently, it is an EndNote Filter file used by EndNote to interpret and import bibliographic references from online databases. These files are crucial for researchers but are essentially set of proprietary rules, not documents you simply "open" in Word.
Alternatively, if you are a musician, your .ENF file is likely a SmartScore Extended Notation Format file created by SmartScore (by Musitek). These files contain scanned sheet music data converted into editable notation. Users often struggle to open these without the original $399 software. The practical solution is converting them to MusicXML for use in Finale or Sibelius, or to PDF for printing.
Less commonly, .ENF files are generated by Vicon Nexus for motion capture sessions. These are specialized data nodes that are best viewed within the Vicon ecosystem or exported to C3D for interoperability.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ENF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, ENL, ENS and RIS files.
If you want to convert ENF file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use EndNote or similar software from the "Bibliographic Import Filter" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to ENF, try EndNote or another comparable tool in the "Bibliographic Import Filter" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ENF converter.
