Chat with PDF lets you have a genuine conversation with any PDF document. Upload the file, then ask questions in plain language — "summarise the key points," "what are the payment terms in clause 4?" or "list all the dates mentioned in this report." The AI reads the entire document and gives you precise, contextual answers sourced from the text.
When reading the whole document takes too long
Legal professionals reviewing contracts routinely need to confirm specific clause terms without reading 60 pages cover to cover — a targeted question produces the relevant clause in seconds. Students assigned a 200-page academic paper can use Chat with PDF to get a structured summary or identify which sections address their essay question. Malaysian professionals reviewing LHDN tax gazette notifications or SSM circular letters can ask the AI to explain specific sections in plain English rather than parsing formal government language. Pakistani lawyers and businesspeople navigating FBR tax rules or SECP regulatory documents use targeted questions to quickly locate specific requirements without reading entire statute PDFs.
How to use PDF Chat — step by step
Upload your PDF
Drop any PDF — contracts, research papers, reports, manuals. Up to 20 MB is supported. The document is analysed and indexed automatically.
Ask a question
Type your question in the chat input. Be specific for best results: "What is the notice period in the termination clause?" yields better answers than "Tell me about termination."
Follow up and explore
Continue the conversation. Ask follow-up questions, request summaries of specific sections, or ask for a list of all key dates and obligations.
Tips for best results
Ask chapter-specific questions: "In Part 3, what are the eligibility requirements?" is more precise than a broad query.
For contracts, ask about specific parties: "What are Company A's obligations under section 5?" surfaces exactly what you need.
Use "summarise in 3 bullet points" in your question for concise output when you need a quick overview of a section.
The AI can only work with text it can read — scanned image PDFs return poor results. Run the PDF through OCR PDF first to add a text layer before chatting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of PDFs work best with Chat with PDF?
Digital PDFs with text layers work best — contracts, research papers, reports, and e-books. Scanned image PDFs produce poor results because the AI reads the text layer, not the visual image. Run scans through OCR PDF first.
How does the AI know which part of the document to reference?
The document is chunked into overlapping sections and indexed semantically. When you ask a question, the AI retrieves the most relevant chunks and synthesises an answer. For very long documents, context windows mean the AI may not consider the entire document in a single query — ask section-specific questions for best accuracy.
Can the AI make mistakes when reading my document?
Yes. AI document reading is highly accurate but not infallible. Verify critical facts — especially numbers, dates, legal terms, and clause references — directly in the original PDF. Never rely solely on AI output for legally or financially consequential decisions.
Is my document kept private during the session?
Your PDF is transmitted over HTTPS and processed to generate an AI response. It is not used to train any AI model and is permanently deleted from the server within one hour of upload, consistent with PDPA data protection obligations.
Can I chat with a PDF in Bahasa Malaysia or Urdu?
Yes. The underlying language model understands and responds in multiple languages including Bahasa Malaysia and Urdu. Upload the document in any language and ask questions in the same language — the AI will respond in kind.
What is the maximum length of PDF I can upload?
Up to 20 MB. For most business documents this equates to hundreds of pages. Very long academic books or large illustrated reports may approach this limit — split them by chapter first using the Split PDF tool if needed.
