Automatically opens PDFs in LeedPDF desktop app or web version - smart redirect with fallback
Turn any PDF link into a natural drawing experience.
LeedPDF for Browser automatically opens PDF links in LeedPDF - a free, open-source annotation tool that actually feels like sketching on paper.
What it does:
Intercepts PDF URLs and redirects them to https://leed.my/pdf/[PDF_URL] where you can draw, annotate, and mark up documents with natural pen-like precision. No more awkward highlighting tools or clunky interfaces.
Why you'll love it:
Privacy-first: No uploads, no accounts, files stay on your device Natural drawing: Built for people who think better with a pen than a keyboard Instant access: Click any PDF link, start annotating immediately Cross-platform: Works on any device with pressure sensitivity support Open source: Built by someone who got fed up with existing tools
Perfect for:
- Students marking up research papers
- Professionals reviewing contracts and reports
- Anyone who prefers sketching thoughts over typing
- Drawing tablet users tired of lifeless annotation tools
How it works:
Install the extension, click any PDF link, and you're automatically taken to LeedPDF where your document loads ready for annotation.
