A Note on PDF Attachments and AI Use
Depending on the type of webpage you're viewing, Jenni may or may not be able to attach the full PDF:
✅ If the URL ends in
.pdf, Jenni will attach the PDF — and you’ll be able to use this source for AI Chat, Autocomplete, and other generation tools immediately.⚠️ If you’re viewing a standard web article (like a journal summary or HTML page), Jenni will save the metadata, but you’ll need to manually upload the PDF in your Library for it to work as a source for AI generation.
To upload a missing PDF, go to your Library → find the source → click Upload PDF
