PDF Import¶
Agora can extract and send selected pages from PDF files as images to vision-capable models.
How It Works¶
- Attach a PDF file in chat
- A dialog opens showing all pages as thumbnails
- Select which pages to send
- 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:
- Renders each selected PDF page as a high-resolution image
- Attaches the images to your message
- 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
