Why every askPDF answer shows its page
Page citations are the heart of askPDF. Here is why we built them, how they work, and what happens when you click one.
When we started askPDF, we kept coming back to one question: how would you know an answer is right? Our answer was simple. Show the page.
How citations work
When askPDF answers, it cites the pages it used. Each page number is a button. Click it and your PDF scrolls to that page, with the relevant text highlighted.
