Hi Elias,
Zotero makes importing PDFs super easy:
You just drag the PDF into Zotero, it magically indexes the full text, and then with a single click, magically works out all the citation information and makes it into a new record in the library.
See here for more details.

You can do a whole folder at a time. I've done up to 50 PDFs in one go - it takes a minute or two to index them and find all the info, but that's about 4 hours quicker than doing it all manually!
It doesn't always get them all, especially for old papers without DOI, and there sometimes are a few minor errors which are really easy to clean up - but it's still awesome.
I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I tried it!
