Frequently Asked Questions
How long a PDF can I summarise at once?
Up to about 50 pages of native-text PDF per run at 1 credit — a 48-page report returns bullets, key arguments, and action items in under a minute. Longer documents split into two runs (part 1, part 2), then combine the bullet lists yourself.
Is my PDF content sent anywhere?
Text is extracted locally with PDF.js, then sent to the AI API for condensing and deleted after processing — files are never stored permanently. Provider-side request logging may apply, so redact financial passwords and personal IDs from sensitive documents first.
Which summary format should I choose?
Bullets for revision and meeting prep, paragraph for reports that need flow, executive summary for leadership updates. A practical habit: bullets first for understanding, then regenerate as executive summary to forward — 2 credits total for both views.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Only after OCR — the summariser reads embedded text, not images of text. Run scans through an OCR tool first, verify the extracted words, then summarise. Blurry scans produce confident-sounding but wrong summaries, so check key figures against the original pages.
Can I trust the summary for citations?
Use it for understanding, not quoting: verify every figure and quote against the source pages before citing. Summaries compress faithfully but occasionally merge adjacent facts — a 2-minute spot-check of the 3 numbers you cite prevents embarrassment.
