PDFs & research papers

Save arXiv and DOI papers, read PDFs, and get page-cited insights from long documents.

#Saving a paper

Save a paper the same way you save an article — with the extension, the share sheet or Add a link. ReadingTrack recognises:

• arXiv links (abstract or PDF pages)
• DOI links (doi.org/…)
• Direct links to PDFs

For arXiv and DOI papers, the title, authors and abstract come from the paper's official record, so they're accurate before any AI runs.

#Paper statuses

Papers have their own statuses, which you set yourself from the item's detail panel:

#Reading PDFs

• On the web, PDFs open in your browser's PDF viewer.
• In the mobile apps, PDFs open in ReadingTrack's built-in PDF viewer, with reading time recorded.

PDFs don't get a clean-reader copy, so text highlighting in the reader isn't available for them. You can still add a takeaway and notes.

#Insights for PDFs

For PDFs with real text, ReadingTrack's insights cite the page each point came from, so you can jump straight to the evidence.
