How to: Chat with PDF
- Select a PDF, Word or text file.
- Type a question or tap a suggested one.
- Read the answer with page citations; download the Q&A.
Finding one fact in a 200-page manual is slow with Ctrl+F because you need the exact words. Chat with PDF understands questions in plain language, ranks every passage of your document, and answers with the most relevant quotes and their page numbers so you can verify them instantly. Because nothing is uploaded, it is safe for contracts, medical records and internal documents.
Common uses
- Ask 'What is the notice period?' in an employment contract.
- Find warranty, return or safety information in a product manual.
- Look up definitions and results in a research paper or textbook.
- Check deadlines and eligibility rules in a government circular or tender.
Tips for best results
- Ask specific questions with key terms: 'late payment penalty' works better than 'what happens?'.
- Click a page number to see the source; answers are always quotes.
- Download the conversation as a text file for your notes.
