The answer to your question is no. I've not upgraded to the most recent version of Endnote nor have I installed the versions that I have onto this machine.
(I was rather disappointed by the functionality of the last version I purchased in comparison to its previous iteration.)
And, proving yet again that they don't call me stupid for nothing, why use documentation software when one can type every reference manually? (This task is slightly less onerous using Microsoft Word 2007. IMO, Microsoft hit it out of the park with Office 2007. YMMV.)
The RefViz plug in sounds promising. I generally run PDFs through Google Desktop and Copernic Desktop Search and between the two I most often find what I need. Also, when dealing with secondary works written by academic historians, one can often find clusters by reading the footnotes first.
In regards to Adobe, which version of Acrobat are you using? I've noticed that the gap between Acrobat 9's standard and professional versions are not as vast as they are between Acrobat 7's respective counterparts.
Also, have you had the opportunity to use Adobe Bridge? It was a throw-in application in Adobe CS2 that can be helpful when looking through a folder with dozens of PDFs.
