FAQ
Will it work with scanned papers or only digital PDFs?
Both. OCR extracts text from scanned PDFs, then we normalize the title, author list, and year even when metadata is missing.
Can I sync renamed files into citation managers?
Yes. Use watched folders for Zotero/Obsidian sync, or download organized batches directly.
Can I tag papers or add topic keywords to filenames?
Absolutely. Append topic codes or course identifiers in your naming rule; previews show exactly how filenames will render.
