Releases 214 and 215 of the Bipsync Research Management System (RMS) are now available, and introduce a neat feature that helps users build commentary around PDF files, along with a host of smaller improvements and bug fixes.
PDF Annotation Clipper
New in this release is a way to extract annotations on text snippets within PDFs and reference them within the notes that they’re attached to. It allows users to summarize and analyze the content of large PDF files, making it easier to understand the salient information they contain. Check out our Feature-In-Focus article to learn about this development in more detail.
