PdfToolsFront

This frontend is a demo interface for interacting with the backend of the Noësis PDF Extractor Tools. It allows users to upload PDF files and export citations or annotations in various formats (PDF, DOCX, TXT).

This frontend is part of the broader initiative, which aims to create tools for researchers and students.

The backend — which handles extraction logic and file generation — is available here
