Copy as Citation.

Copy text from the PDF in Reader and go to our writing application Author and paste. Since Author understands that this is a citation, when you export you will have the citation automatically appended to the Reference section, saving you a lot of time

View Highlighted Text in context.

‘h’ will also show headings so you know where the highlighted text is
