If you have a DOI-containing PDF that doesn't work BUT does have a bibliographic entry present in PubMed then please send a copy to bibdesk....@gmail.com and I will try to see if the parser logic can be improved. As Christiaan points out the bibtex records generated after DOI extraction depend entirely on the database provider - at the moment only PubMed.
