Finally, AI that can actually
read your PDFs
Stop copying and pasting chunks of text. Stop getting "file too large" errors. Just drop your PDF link and ask your question—whether it's a 10-page contract or a 1,000-page manual.
Sound Familiar?
You've got a 300-page manual. You need one specific answer. But when you try to upload it to your favorite AI, you get an error. Or worse—it reads the first few pages and gives you the wrong answer.
The Old Way
Copy-paste page by page. Upload fails. Split into chunks. Lose context. Give up.
The Smart Way
Drop the link. Ask your question. Get the exact answer with page references.
What You Can Actually Do Now
"My employee handbook is 400 pages"
Finally get instant answers about vacation policy, benefits, or that one obscure form.
"I have 12 quarterly reports"
Compare trends across all of them without manually creating a spreadsheet.
"This contract is 200 pages"
Find that liability clause on page 147 without reading every single page.
"My research papers are huge"
Extract methodology sections from 20 papers in minutes, not hours.
Real Conversations, Real Results
YOU:What's our company's policy on working from home? I can't find it in this 400-page handbook.
AI:Found it! The remote work policy starts on page 89. You can work from home 2 days per week after 90 days of employment. Manager approval required. The full policy details are in Section 4.3.2.
YOU:Does this lease agreement allow subletting? It's 150 pages long and full of legal jargon.
AI:No, subletting is prohibited. Found it in Section 12.4 (page 78): "Tenant shall not sublet the premises in whole or in part without prior written consent from Landlord, which may be withheld at Landlord's sole discretion."
YOU:Compare the revenue growth between these 5 annual reports from 2019-2023.
AI:Revenue grew from $2.1M (2019) to $8.7M (2023). Year-over-year growth: 2020: +15%, 2021: +42%, 2022: +38%, 2023: +51%. Strongest growth in Q4 each year, detailed breakdowns on pages 23-25 of each report.

How It's Different
Instead of trying to eat the whole elephant, PDF Agent takes smart bites.
Smart, Not Brute Force
- ✓Scans the map first: Checks table of contents, page count, document structure
- ✓Searches like you would: Finds keywords, jumps to relevant sections
- ✓Reads only what matters: Extracts specific pages, not the entire document
- ✓Understands visuals: Can analyze charts, diagrams, and images when needed
- ✓Your files stay private: Documents never leave your computer
Why Other Solutions Fail
- ✗The "read everything" approach: Most tools try to process the entire PDF, hitting size limits immediately
- ✗Complex RAG setups: Require databases, embeddings, and technical knowledge just to ask a simple question
- ✗Generic summarizers: Give you vague overviews when you need specific answers with page numbers
