Can Claude keep PDF footnote references intact when summarizing a document?

Saurabh Verma 38 23 Oct 2026

I’m using Claude to summarize research PDFs, and some of the useful context lives in footnotes rather than the main text. When the summary mentions a claim from one of those notes, can Claude preserve the footnote number or otherwise point back to it?

I’m trying to avoid a summary that reads well but makes it hard to trace a detail to the right place in the original document. Has anyone found a reliable way to ask for that?
