Jun 17, 2010 at 6:57 comment added Andrew Stacey To convert a whole .bib file to a .bbl then simply say \nocite{*}. I used something like this to create a PDF of all the articles I'd saved into my standard BibTeX file (now I use a more sophisticated database system).

Jun 16, 2010 at 22:37 comment added Matthew Morrow Ah, yes, you are right. If I had ever needed to turn the whole .bib file into a .bbl I wouldn't have known what to do (apart from writing a document full of \nocite{this} and \nocite{that}) - your suggested package listbib fixes that!
Jun 16, 2010 at 22:25 comment added Willie Wong You don't run bibtex on a .bib file, you run it on the .aux generated by latex. Bibtex then searches out the .bib file as specified in your tex source and produces a .bbl file that only contains the items cited in your .tex file.
