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. • Scan a table of contents. Interested in methods, results, or discussion? Click the section to go straight to it. • 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/.

Could and should be an upgrade from the native Chrome PDF viewer. Keyword "should". But not quite. The native PDF viewer has "two-page view" which is very helpful and useful, this one for some reasons doesn't. I wonder how hard it really is to just "copy" or bring in that functionality into this extension.

Font rendering is much worse than in the standard Chrome PDF Viewer. Too bad... the features are really great, but with the slightly pixelated text (especially on small zoom levels compared to the Chrome PDF Viewer) it strains my eyes too much in the long run.

Please launch a google scholar pdf reader software or add a highlighter tool, It would be much handy and useful.
