Some papers arrive without their PDF: a paywall, or just a reference. CurTask keeps the paper's details and marks it No PDF. It looks for a free copy for you, and you can add your own copy any time.
In your library, papers without a PDF show a crossed-out file icon. Choose Missing PDF to see them all. Open a paper and drop its PDF into Add this paper's PDF.
CurTask checks that the PDF matches the paper. If it looks like a different paper, you decide what to do. Once the text is read, the paper joins your matrices, coding and evidence like any other.
Details now, PDF whenever you have it. That is CurTask.
