Created attachment 172521 [details] PDF document with References without links Tool to Extract References: similar to Annotations/Bookmarks panel SUMMARY Some journals do not provide links for the references (even as of 2015). Navigating manually to the Bibliography section can be quit annoying (see attached pdf document). A tool to automatically extract the references would be very useful: - extract references on each page, e.g. using a pseudo-regex expression <superscript>number(-number)?(,number(-number)?)*</superscript>; - display them in a lateral tab (similar to the Annotations tab); - let user specify on which pages the Bibliography is; - link the extracted references to the Bibliography; STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open attached pdf-document 2. Go to pages 2-3 (or 3-4), section "Literature Update" 3. There are many references OBSERVED RESULT There is NO usable link for any of the references. Note: the paragraph seems to include a link; but the external link is useless, as the user has to browse first to the Bibliography pages to extract the details of the references! The link is present in MS Edge as well, so is presumably a problem in the pdf document. EXPECTED RESULT Extract the references (superscript text) and display them in a specialized tab. Link these references to the Bibliography pages: - the user could specify on which page a particular set of references start, e.g.: 1 => page 6; 23 => page 7; 70 => page 8; 108 => page 9; ... I have extracted the references manually for the exemplified section: - the text below was processed manually and is included for easier understanding; - the "References" panel would display only the numbers and link them to the Bibliography pages; Vaccine type: one or more short TAA-derived peptides: 90-142, 143-145 full-length TAAs: 146 “synthetic long peptides” (SLPs): 147-150, 152 “carbohydrate-mimetic peptides” (CMPs): 151, 153-155 Malignancies: various hematological malignancies: 90,111,122,126 melanoma: 99,100,113,141 breast: 94,96,134,138,151 head and neck: 102,103 gastroesophageal: 108,121,130 pulmonary: 95,105,114,142 pancreatic: 109,115,117,124,125,132, 135,137,148 prostate: 97,98,104,107,112,119,139 ovarian: 116,131 colorectal: 91,120,129,136,140 Standalone adjuvanted interventions injected intradermally or intratumorally: 94,102,104,105,108-110,112,115,116,119,121,123,124,128,129,131,138,140-142,146,147,149,156 [...] SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
