This feature is heavily requested and necessary for proper literature review, yet still hasn't been implemented since its initial suggestion FIVE YEARS AGO. I may need to recommend ReadCube for my department, as pulling PDFs from my Dropbox API backup is getting tedious.

Yes, please! This is a key feature for systematic review full-text eligibility screening.

I completely agree. It is incredibly frustrating that this feature doesn't exist. To me this is an essential part of the research process.

Yes, I totally agree. This feature is such a big one, I'm considering changing providers.

Please do more than consider this. This is a core feature. If I'm not mistaken, PDFs are indexed for full text search already, which makes the absence of this feature quite strange.
