PDF answers that show their source
A citation that says "page 12" still leaves you searching page 12. Docamend quotes the sentence it relied on and highlights it, so checking an answer takes a click instead of a re-read.
Who it's for: Students, researchers, lawyers, analysts and anyone who has to stand behind what a document says.
What a Docamend citation contains
- The quoted text, taken word for word from your document.
- The page it is on, using the page numbers of the file you uploaded.
- A highlight drawn over the matching lines in the PDF viewer.
- For multi-part answers, the quotes are grouped under the point they support, so you can see which evidence backs which statement.
How quotes are checked before you see them
Language models sometimes "quote" text that is not in the source, or stitch two passages together. Every quote the model offers is matched against the actual page text to draw its highlight. In Quality and Max mode the check is strict: a point whose quote cannot be found on the page does not count as supported, and a quote stitched from separate passages counts only when every piece of it is found.
When a provision the answer relies on was read but its quote could not be confirmed, Docamend says so instead of presenting the point as proven.
When page citations save the most time
- Writing an essay or report that must cite the source document.
- Checking a colleague's summary of a long contract or policy.
- Answering "where exactly does it say that?" in a meeting.
- Comparing what two sections of the same document say about one topic.
Limits to know
- Page numbers are the file's own pages, which can differ from the numbers printed in the document's footer.
- Fast mode answers from fewer passages and is less strict about partly matched quotes than Quality and Max.
- A citation shows where the answer came from; it is not legal, medical or financial advice about what the text means for you.
Questions
Are the quotes copied from my document or written by the AI?
The model is instructed to copy them from your document, and each one is matched against the page text. In Quality and Max mode a point only counts as supported when its quote is found on the page.
Can I export answers with their citations?
Answers can be copied, and document summaries, Audits and suggestions can be exported to Word or printed.
What happens if the document does not contain the answer?
Docamend reports it as not found in the pages it checked, rather than answering from general knowledge.
