| 2024-11-20 |  | | en | This is the only pdf handler I have in Chrome. when I click on a [pdf] link in G-scholar, Chrome wants me to save the .pdf to my computer. I don't understand how to make it work. |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | en | It is a great extension! Love it! If there is a feature to retrieve and show the teaser figure in the modal window, it would be *perfect*. |
| 2024-11-19 |  | | en | It's helpful when it's able to read and summarize the document - it can't do this for all PDFs. It would be even more helpful if the reader also came with even the most basic PDF reader capabilities like highlighting, bookmarking, commenting, etc. I find myself having to switch back and forth between this reader and native browser reader just to highlight a section. |
