Frequently asked questions
How do I start summarizing a PDF?
Write your reading goal or choose an example, then sign in, upload the PDF in chat, and send your request. You can specify the summary format and focus.
Can I summarize one chapter or ask follow-up questions about the PDF?
Specify a chapter, page range, or question to focus on. After receiving the summary, ask follow-up questions and request supporting passages from the original.
Can I summarize a scanned PDF?
Readability depends on scan quality, language, and page layout. Check that the content can be read first. If it cannot, provide selectable text or a clearer file.
Can I summarize a long PDF and keep source references?
Ask for chapter summaries and source locations. Processing depends on the file and your account limits. Verify page numbers, quotations, and important figures against the original.
How is a PDF summarizer different from a document summarizer?
The PDF summarizer focuses on PDF reading and section summaries. The document summarizer is for documents, pasted text, and organizing takeaways or action items across materials.
