Longtime MuckRock readers might have noticed that there are two ways to link to responsive records on the site: A direct link to the .pdf on our server, or a link to the DocumentCloud document viewer on the request page. Wherever possible, we try to link to the latter, as it has a few advantages over your standard browser viewer that we’d like to highlight today.

Last week we didn’t launch any new user-facing features, but we’re almost ready to share a big one. Please us know if you have piles of PDFs that need analyzing.
