I've tried with three different pdfs and it's simply not working, enabled settings etc, still every time: "AI Outline not available for this pdf" Well intended but released too early, do release again please!

There should be at least functions like hightlight and underline, which is of vital importance to PDF readers in academia. Hope to see that upgrades soon! btw, I come to use this reader from Google Scholar.

I love this pdf viewer, the preview of scientific sources, and especially the dark mode. Would it be possible to add a possibility to highlight in the document and save it locally? (or just open a local pdf in the browser and be able to highlight parts in different colours) ? Thanks!

Fantastic! How about adding functions such as taking note and highlighting? Then it will become better! 找文献真的是很方便,希望开发者增加添加注释和高亮文本的功能,这样就更完美了!
