Find supporting passages in a PDF

Analyze a text-based PDF by searching for a specific term. Read each passage in context before using it as evidence.

Step by step

  1. Open PDF Studio and upload a PDF with selectable text. Wait for text extraction to finish.
  2. Ask about a term that appears in the document. Include the original spelling of terms such as a project name or budget category.
  3. Open the document under Sources and verify the surrounding text. If the passage has an exception or a date range, keep it with the figure.

What to keep in mind

The PDF studio reads the text layer. Run OCR on an image-only scan and unlock password-protected PDFs before upload. PDF files can be up to 20 MB each.
