Absolutely amazing pdf reader, love the referencing tools and being able to instantly have the links to any articles referenced. If you're a student this plugin is a must have and makes cross-referencing very straightforward. Only thing I wish it had was an annotation system, but overall a great plugin!

Bom, mas o facto de a qualidade ser NOTAVELMENTE inferior a qualquer outro leitor de PDF complica a utilização (as letras parecem desfocadas/ pixelizadas)

好用的插件,但是只能被动调用不能主动调用。他似乎存在根据pdf文件的信息主观判断是不是paper的机制,有时候我打开一些文章会用默认adobe打开,死活没法切到scholar阅读器,不是很好。

Yapay Zeka özetlemesinde dil ayarları yapılabilirse daha iyi olur. It would be better if language settings could be made in the AI summarisation.

Love the cite built in feature an the AI summary, all it needs now is a highlight/mark option and it's a spectacular 100/100

Perfect!!! I love its dark mode; it makes PDFs look so much more comfortable. I also like that it provides links to references in-text. Much more convenient than scrolling down to the end of the document every time I want to see a referenced article.

挺好用的,就是深色模式下图片被反色,以及部分 PDF 没有 AI 大纲比较难受
