Overview

Supercharge your paper reading: follow references, skim outline, jump to figures, cite and save.

When you install Scholar Reader, PDFs on all sites will have a new look in Chrome. To make this happen, Chrome will ask for permissions to read and change data on all sites. Scholar Reader makes no changes other than the presentation of PDFs. • Preview references as you read. Click the in-text citation to see a summary and find the PDF. • Read faster with the AI outline. Get a quick overview and click on interesting bullets to jump within the paper. • Click in-text figure mentions to see the figure and the back button to keep reading. • Make it right for your eyes with light, dark, and night modes. • Copy and paste common citation formats without leaving the paper. • Save articles to your Scholar Library to read or cite later. By installing this extension, you agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/.

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.

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*.

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.
