Surely you know English language better than me, so I don't question
here.

You're right, my point is that "Master of Science" is English enough:

Here my bad, I should have asked a narrower question. Looking back, I'd
say you're right, my first question was if it was possible (in the

pdf-tools, and if not, what other tools do you use. I should have been
more focused, I apologize.
