Abstract
A document annotation system receives a document in an original format including content. The system converts the document to an intermediate format including page data elements representing pagination within the document. The system converts the intermediate format to a display format including data marker elements linking a portion of the content to a pin cite based on the page data elements. The system detects annotations to the display format and generates citations based on the annotations.

A method comprising:
- receiving, from a client application by a document annotation system, a first document in an original format;
- generating, by the document annotation system and based at least in part on the first document, a second document corresponding to the first document, the second document in a second format;
- transmitting, to the client application or a second client application, the second document, wherein the client application or the second client application is configured to display the second document in a user interface (UI);
- receiving, from the client application or the second client application, an indication of a citation in the second document, the citation associated with text in the second document selected by a user of the client application or the second client application;
- and
- storing, by the document annotation system, the indication of the citation in association with the first document and the second document.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more computer readable media storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a client application, a first document in an original format;
- generating, based at least in part on the first document, a second document corresponding to the first document, the second document in a second format;
- transmitting, to the client application or a second client application, the second document, wherein the client application or the second client application is configured to display the second document in a user interface (UI);
- receiving, from the client application or the second client application, an indication of a citation in the second document, the citation associated with text in the second document selected by a user of the client application or the second client application;
- and
- storing the indication of the citation in association with the first document and the second document.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor, wherein the instructions, when executed perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a client application, a first document in an original format;
- generating, based at least in part on the first document, a second document corresponding to the first document, the second document in a second format;
- transmitting, to the client application or a second client application, the second document, wherein the client application or the second client application is configured to display the second document in a user interface (UI);
- receiving, from the client application or the second client application, an indication of a citation in the second document, the citation associated with text in the second document selected by a user of the client application or the second client application;
- and
- storing the indication of the citation in association with the first document and the second document.
