validate-footnotes

To verify footnotes against a source PDF, you can extract footnote definitions from scheme notes and cross-check page numbers, quoted text, values, and attributions. This generates a per-scheme validation report highlighting correct, minor, and incorrect citations.

Yes, you can validate citations for an entire group of PIR notes at once. The validation supports batch processing for groups like A, B, C, D, or X, allowing you to audit footnote accuracy across multiple schemes simultaneously.

A footnote validation report includes per-scheme results that categorize each citation as correct, minor, or incorrect. It compares page numbers, text, numerical values, and attributions extracted from the notes against the corresponding source PDF.

To check a single scheme for citation accuracy, you can run a targeted validation on a specific scheme. This isolates the footnote extraction and cross-checking process to compare page numbers and attributions directly against the source PDF.

No external dependencies are required to parse PDF files for footnote validation. The process operates natively to extract definitions and compare quoted text, numbers, and units from engineering notes against the source documents.

Auditing footnotes in PIR notes ensures citation integrity by systematically comparing page numbers, text, and attributions against source PDFs. This automated validation prevents manual checking errors and generates a structured review report for engineering notes.
