# PDF Import

Agora can extract and send selected pages from PDF files as images to vision-capable models.

## How It Works

1. Attach a PDF file in chat
2. A dialog opens showing all pages as thumbnails
3. Select which pages to send
4. Confirm — Agora extracts the pages as images and sends them to the model

The model receives the pages as vision input, letting it read and analyze PDF content.

## Page Selection

### Choosing Pages

- Each page thumbnail has a checkbox in the top-left corner
- Tap the checkbox to toggle a page on/off
- Select All / Deselect All buttons for bulk operations
- The top bar shows the selected count (e.g., "3 selected")
- Maximum 50 pages per PDF (larger files are clipped)

### Fullscreen Preview

Tap any thumbnail to open the fullscreen viewer:

Gesture | Action
--- | ---
Swipe left/right | Navigate between pages
Tap | Show/hide the overlay controls
Pinch | Zoom in/out
Bottom-left capsule | Toggle page selection

The preview lets you inspect pages before deciding which to send.

## Sending Pages

After selecting pages, tap the confirm button. Agora:

1. Renders each selected PDF page as a high-resolution image
2. Attaches the images to your message
3. Sends them to the model (requires a vision-capable model)

## Limitations

- Max 50 pages per PDF — larger files are truncated
- Image-only: Text is not extracted; the model reads pages visually
- Vision model required: The active chat model must support image inputs
- File size: While there's no hard PDF size limit, very large files may be slow to render

## Use Cases

- Document analysis — upload a contract, report, or paper for the model to review
- Research — share specific pages from academic papers
- Translation — send foreign-language documents for translation
- Summarization — get summaries of long documents, page by page
